With Phrenology, the authors literary debut, we are jettisoned into a world of inane, banal, bizarre, and sometimes dangerous speech and character study. Part poetry, part narrative fiction, Phrenology at times recalls Vonnegut's fluctuating sense of character development, portraying the paranoid, the perverse, and the misguided at a rapid and entertaining pace.

By A Customer

seriously, I'd like to know. this "book" deserves negative stars. It looks like it was published by a vanity press.

This is Serious?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Phrenology (Paperback)
I ordered this book expecting a literate and intelligent discussion of the science of phrenology.Imagine my horror when I found this to be the inane mental wanderings of (I-don't-know-what). The book was too disgusting for me to read more than one paragraph on any one page. I read about 15 selections before doing something I have only done 3 times in 50 years - threw the book away. I would not even recommend using the paper for toilet paper for fear of soiling one's sewer system. It is sad that with so much need in the world that the author, publisher, and distributors could not find a better use for their time.

Love It Or Hate It, Phrenology Is A Courageous Effort,
By A Customer
This review is from: Phrenology (Paperback)
An early work from one of America's most nebulous thinkers. Phrenology's hocus-pocus will entice or bore depending on the reader. If you like the first five pages, sit back - the text is remarkably consistent in both style and mood. Quintessential Martinez.
