Book Reviews of Meat Puppet Cabaret
Book Review: 3.5 stars just for the effort alone.. BIZARRO INDEED
Summary: 3 Stars
Wow.
I can't imagine the time and effort it took the author to write this tome. British history and sci-fi ponderings coupled with occultic philosophy. If Genesis P-Orridge and William Burroughs got together and wrote a book clean and sober.. this is what it might look like. Not that the book isn't full of drugs; it is. But there's a definite method to the madness.
It was a difficult read, though. The language is rich and full of references to things that, honestly, I knew nothing about. Perhaps it's the cultural difference (the author is from England) but some of it was over my head. Even so, I can recognize the underlying bizarro brilliance in the set-up and subplots.
If you are sick of reading the usual Jack the Ripper theories and you want a new one that's soaked in sci-fi, the occult, and history, this book is one you might think about reading. I warn you: it's mind-bending.
The whole feeling of hidden occult theories and ideas will give you that feeling you get when you read Lovecraft. You know.. that feeling that something just isn't right with the world. But now make the feeling even WEIRDER. That's what you get here.
The detailed writing is meticulous which might turn some readers off (especially ones used to reading the furiously paced bizarro literature of Carlton Mellick III). Do give it a try, though. Dig deep and find yourself trapped in some pretty trippy stuff.
