pseudogeek: The face of a peach-faced lovebird.  (Default)

Reading it right now. It's so offensive that it's hilarious. And knowing the author, it's meant to be like that. I've read comments that says the book's still immature, like a draft that can be fleshed out with a good editor, but I think for this kind of story, the writing style is fitting. Look, the title is "Lockpick Pornography". How often do you see impossibly well-written pornography? Pornography is about raw, fragmented, almost-tasteless pieces of flesh in images. Lockpick Pornography is that. Raw, fragmented, offensive, almost-tasteless pieces of anger in images. But it's so strong and raw that it gets reaction from the reader. And makes the reader think.

Half-way in chapter one I'm already hating the characters and loving the book.

Edit: No, the characters are pretty well-made, I'm hating them because they are huge jerks and it was the author's intention anyway.
