Book Reviews of Skinema
Book Review: HILARIOUS!
Summary: 5 Stars
Chris Nieratko is one of the funniest writers of all time! This book is amazing and reviews 150 Porno films (although 90% of the time he never talks about or even mentions the film). Each review he will talk about a hilarious story or chapter in his life, which usually involves some sort of substance abuse. There are many great stories of his to choose from, like the time he thought he had AIDS or the time he got a Japanese buisnessman drunk. A perfect book for those who don't have time to sit down and read a lot, it's a great book to just open and read one review (usually about 1-2 pages long) and have a great laugh.
Any fans of Jackass or Big Brother skateboarding will love this book!
Book Review: Holds Nothing Back
Summary: 5 Stars
It is basically stories of Chris Nieratko's life told through various porn reviews. In order to actually "enjoy" this book it helps to not be such a prude and wet blanket. I think it is definitely a book aimed towards a younger crowd because of its raunchiness and brutal honesty. If you have a open mind and a sense of humor you will enjoy this book. Some of the stories were so ridiculously funny you knew they had to be true. Others were questionable and seemed a little fabricated (the one about finding the local drug cop's safe under his bed) but whatever...they still make you crack a smile while reading. Being in college I thought this book was excellent. Different from other books out there and way better than mindless textbooks. It will get you laughing and cringing at the same time. I'm sure there will be critics out there that will eventually realize this book exists and try and condemn and denounce it, but it does actually inspire you to get off your bored butt and live life a little and have some fun like Chris did. Isn't that what life is about anyway???
Book Review: I almost peed my pants several times
Summary: 5 Stars
This writer is such a creep, he writes these porno reviews which somehow always leave out details of the porno itself and includes sleezy tales of his shenanigans with various characters. He is too funny though, and such a great writer. I can't tell you how many times I busted a gut laughing at his antics. Warning though, not suited to read on a plane, book cover will give dirty looks.Book Review: Jerks Need Love Too
Summary: 5 Stars
Chris Nieratko, sleazy devil of the delinquent sort, may want you to believe that he's "hard" (pronounced "haawwd") but his new book, Skinema, is at it's essense a redemptive love letter to his new wife. Skinema is a collection of short introspective essays that read like the most interesting bar conversations you've ever had. Interesting thing is, these essays are set up as porn video reviews. Tangenital at best, those "reviews" never really make it to the page. Instead we are regaled with Chris' numerous life experiences - any single one of which would leave lesser mortals dead or in jail. His stories take the reader on a cringe-filled journey from the depths of unhealthy relationships, massive drug and alcohol abuse, to the heights of self-awareness and protective possesion of the only good thing a prodigal ex-junkie needs, the love of a good woman (the kind that will at least consider a threesome). I can highly recommend this to anyone with a skewed sense of humor and an inner voyeuristic leer.

You know what? I haven't even read this book. I'll probably do that eventually, but after I get my own credit card because I don't think my mom would buy this book for me. This is her account, by the way.
Whatever, I'm just psyched to be the fourth person in all of Amazon dot com to write a review here.
YEAH
