Experience Carnal: Somewhere Over 40 Winks Compiled By Rom LcOFeer Provided As Text
What a weird book,
And I mean that in the best possible way,
Certainly, Somewhere Carnal is one of those books you kinda have to read because it presents itself brilliantly, with interesting characters who are tied together in meaningful ways.
Still, there are things about the ending that bugged me:
, What the hell happened to Oceana Why does she die Did I miss something
ok, Fine. that's my only real gripe,
but seriously! Definitely one of the weirdest and confusing books I've ever read.
It took me a while to finish cuz i had no idea where it was going or what exactly was going on.
But for some reason by the end it was still a decent book, SPOILER ALERT I think the main point of the book was to show how everyone was connected, but it was in such a weird and scifi way that it would have been impossible to figure out at the beginning.
I an still a little confused about how exactly everyone was connected, Also, not sure what happened to Oceana, unless she was another SIN, There were a lot of characters to keep track of, Decent and interesting for sure, but confusing and took a long time to read, Three Stars. My buddy recommended this book to me, I liked its refreshing writing style although the plot was a bit complex for my taste, I wasn't surprise, however, knowing that my friend is an experimental novel junkie, The ending was very tastefully executed, I must say, The link my buddy pointed me to was helpful :

Anyway, I commend the author for trying to break the mold,
Happy reading! For me, this novel read like a long poem, I needed setaside time and a distractionfree corner to fully appreciate it, The numerous characters threw me off at first but its odd but fresh writing style kept me reading.
I most enjoyed the last chapter where things were put together brilliantly, It is one of those books that people will either love it or hate it, DNF at. It's a rambling mess. I enjoyed this book although I was often confused about the characters, About half way through, I started keeping a list of all the characters, their descriptions and how they related to each other.
I feel like I need to read it again to really understand the story, Part Lost, part Heroes, part detective mystery this wellwritten mindbending book will give you many mysteries to solve along the way.
The author's writing style is fresh and fun to read, and kept my interest from starttofinish, The book follows a cast of about twenty characters as their lives weave together,
As soon as I finished the book, I just had to read it a second time, both to gain a more thorough understanding, and because I just wasn't ready for it to be over yet.
That second reading kept me smiling throughout as I more fully appreciated the author's cleverness,
Definitely novel and puzzling, At times too obscure and in dire need of editing, I both liked and disliked this book, Byof the way through, I just wanted it to end, During the lastor so, the pieces were put in place, and were very cool, The prose is sometimes torturous, and sometimes brilliant, A truly mixed bag of a book, so I give it three but can't recommend it because of the uneven writing.
