For anyone who might want to blame their emotions on someone/thing else...look no further. The Monsters in this story are so morbid, but you can't help but want to squeeze them and love them. I remember one of intestinal organs saying, "Pooka, Pooka" and that really doesn't do it justice until you actually take a look at the visual element itself. I don't think Dirge actually meant for this to be a literary phenomena and it isn't, but what it is, is a candid, yet quaint protrayal of personified organs. I would recommend looking at this even if you aren't interested you will become interested because it will trap you in its glory. The illustrations are beyond cool. Personally, I loved it, but then I'm not a hard-core critic. If it's good...it is good and that's just the way of it.

While I am a huge Roman Dirge fan, I didn't find this book to be all that great. Sure, it was somewhat good, but I have come to have high standards for Roman. I think anyone could relate to the character, but half of the story was kind of pointless.

Roman with his poems and imagery shows us something most of us wish we could do everyday. Being a complete Dirge fan I of course had to buy this! When I was done I couldn't help but go 'aww' cause it was like reading something you knew had to have come from experience wanting to go through with this.

BEING A ROMAN DIRGE FAN FROM WORD ONE, I HAVE A FEELING THAT EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK. GUARANTEED, WE ALL HAVE FELT THIS WAY AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. IF NOT, YOU'RE EITHER VERY LUCKY OR IN DEEP DENIAL... ENJOY.
