This is really scary to do. Go easy on me and try to have an open mind, lol

So, I feel like there are some things I should explain before you waste your time downloading this file.

This book is an "experimental" novel. It uses extensive footnotes AND endnotes and as it goes on, I will mess with the format and other stuff more and more. It is also really surreal/symbolic. I am aware that what I'm showing probably doesn't "make sense," but it's still early in the book.

I haven't really checked over the last few pages for spelling errors or grammatical errors or anything.
I hope that the layout didn't get fucked up or something. If it did, I'm sorry.


So, constructive criticism welcome! No insults, that just hurts my feelings!

Just dl'd it. I'm a little too inebriated to read it critically right now, but I'll give it a scan over the next few days and get back to ya!

Thanks for sharing, O.

I was thinking about writing a book, sort of a parody of Catch-22. But a parody of a parody may just split the space-time continuum. :dunno

The ultimate goal of art. NO reference point.:nod

Every time I hear about Catch-22, I'm reminded of Yossarian's conversation with the chaplain.


"How is Lt. Dunbar?"

"as good as they go...A true prince. One of the finest,least dedicated men the whole world"

I like writing satire, myself. Because it isn't expected to be funny or serious. I can go between both.

And I'm looking forward to what you have to say about my book, Dove.

Excellent. Overall, I would give your story an 8.5 out of 10. Your vocabulary is really good but you need to work on your grammar a bit more. Your story is mysterious but kind of confusing. Nothing a good review can't fix. Good luck on it.

Thanks Tempermental.

Can you gimme some examples of the bad grammar? I ask because some of it may be intentional. Some may not! And because I'd like to know what to fix if it needs to be :)

And as for the review, oh, I'm sure nobody wants to hear the long drawn out explanation, lol
