Book Reviews of The Bizarro Starter Kit (Orange)
Book Review: Lovely Lands of Weird
Summary: 4 Stars
Wow...not only a fun romp through the absurd, but also a great introduction to a previously unknown (for me) genre.
So, imagine all of the great (and not-so-great) cult films influencing a generation of authors to do exactly what those movies did: shock, awe, and inspire a new way of looking at how you perceive a story.
Many of the authors in this collection admit to enjoying the visual works of David Lynch and the authorial extrapolations of Kafka.
I think while reading this collection, many readers may have to stop and realize that what is going on in these stories is just how their world works--it is beyond Magical Realism. This collection is a landscape that covers unexplored areas of the avant-garde.
The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is simply because two of the stories I did not like all that much. One just seemed like a visceral version of Who Censored Roger Rabbit? In addition, the other story had no organization whatsoever.
I have the other collection (Blue) and I can hardly wait to start reading the many surprises it will have to offer.
