Summary: Bizzare acid-trip in a world populated by sex
Review: When I started reading RWPH, I thought that the Carlton Mellick III (CM3) must be writing some form of cyber-punk BDSM. As I read more, I decided that CM3 must be writing some sort of feminst punk set in a dystopic future. Then I threw that one out and decided that it must be a satire on the role of men in our society (and the "tough guy" gender roles that they are forced to play). I finally ditched that one and gave up on trying to find an answer. Then I hit the climax, no pun intended, and I was thrilled to discover that it was just about sex.

Did I say "just about sex"? I don't mean it like that. RWPH is a raw, post-apocalypic horror story that may be set in the far future... or in a man's testicles. A fleshy, yet structured, landscape where pan-sexual cells are shaped and ruled by whore-moans (hormones). Or maybe it's all in the male subconscious.

The biological and the industrial meet-clash in strong pan-sexual antagonist-protagonist characters who evoke all sorts of weird and viseral reactions from the reader. Love? Hate? Disgust? Admiration? Facination? Definitely. All those and more; the sorts of emotions for which most of us don't even have names.

I think that CM3 must have sat down one evening and said, "Huh, I guess reading a really good story must be like having really good sex."
*This book is short; you can read it in one evening. In fact, it's hard to put down. Kind of like a good lover.
*The writing-style is fuzzy. Kind of like most of us get when we're really turned on.
*It has a great period of building curiosity. Kind of like foreplay.
*It builds slowly, taking its time. ;)
*It hits a climax. Kinda of like ... does anyone need me to explain this one?
*The resolution is light and dreamy, carrying the reader off into a new place of speculation and insight.

Read it. Love it or hate it, it *will* make you think, which is why I give it five stars and an enthusiastic recommendation.

Summary: Lovingly vicious in a daliesque landscape
Review: Wow! This is the second book I've read by CM3, and again he doesn't dissapoint. This story is genuinely one of the strangest things I've ever read and enjoyed. Where does CM3's imagination come from?-I don't want to know!!! It's dizzying to read this book.-So clearly written, as the images take shape, your head begins to spin. Shockingly brutal to say the least, tender, and probably not to everyone's taste. In my opinion CM3 is cutting his own path in writing, and I can't wait to see where it leads next. Great stuff, buy it, support a worthwhile author.
