Book Reviews of It Came from Below the Belt
Book Review: A Very Unique and Utterly Strange Novel
Summary: 5 Stars
Due to an incident with a giraffe, Grover is transported back in time. He meets up with his unattached "member," which goes by the name The Unnamable. The Unnanmable makes Grover go back to high school (every person's dream/nightmare) so that it can run itself for class president. Once the election is won, The Unnamable promises to reveal the secrets of Nazi time travel to Grover so he can return home. But is The Unnamable reliable?
That is the basic plot outline to this book, but there is so much more going on here than a simple plot. The story twists and turns and changes at the drop of a dime. The writing style changes, the format changes. There is a "choose your own adventure" section of the book as well as a television script. At some points you have to read passages two or three times to remind yourself what is going on. This book is a work of art.
A couple of standout points:
1) The "sacrificial children" passage on page 160.
2) "It's not over until the pigeons start flinging their own feces."
3) "...the act of loving someone is far less traumatic after they're no longer around to bother you..."
This is a stellar addition to the Bizarro genre, and I hope to see more by this author in the near future.
