Book Reviews of Spider Pie
Book Review: Should've Stuck With Mellick
Summary: 2 Stars
I was singularly unimpressed with this book. It promised so much good weirdness, but delivered next to none of it. While the Bizarro movement in general tends to full of books written in simple-yet-strange language, Sturgill's writing lacks any semblance of talent. Her repepitive use of hack tie-in statements like "Without even thinking he/she..." or "Then Suddenly", etc etc. I'd go back and look in the book to get better examples, but its already on its way back to the store. Sturgill just... tries too hard to say "Look at me murder cuteness in an Overly-Stereotypical-Goth way!! Bats and Spiders and Zombie Kittens!" in her re-hashededly boring stories cream-filled with run-of-the-mill strangeness.
Bizarro is good, and should be read by people looking for interesting fiction. Spider Pie is NOT it, and really shouldn't be read by any but Third Grade Pseudo-Goths with short attention spans and no reading experience. Go buy a Carlton Mellick book- there you would get your money's worth, and really get what you hoped you were buying.
