I LOVED IT!,
By Brain Crain (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deadly Perversions: A Decadent Little Novel (Paperback)
LOVE IT! One thing is for sure ... either you love Arquette's writing or you hate it, as you can see by the drastically mixed reviews below. There is really no between the lines about it. I happen to LOVE IT! Very inventive. I can see how older fudy-dudy readers that are into books like Stephen King's (wake me when it's over) Dream Catcher diatribes won't like his fast paced, sometimes vulgar style (see the fudy-dudy reviews below), but to me it was like reading a new kind of book for a new generation of readers. I can't wait to read his next one! If you're into big-time published, totally commercial, pre-packaged, overly promoted books that are fed to you by the book press, then stick to your twentieth John Grisham novel. Else read the out-on-limb, rocker, Deadly Perversions. Heah, you only live once.

Appallingly Bad,
By Sarah Kremen-Hicks (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deadly Perversions: A Decadent Little Novel (Paperback)
I can't believe this even made it into print. The Big Surprising Plot Twist is telegraphed on page twelve, the book is riddled with typos (he misspells his own characters' names, for goodness sake!), the characters are so shallow I didn't really care whether they died, and the only good idea in here is ripped off from Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash. And what's the deal with loudly proclaiming that Lois Duncan edited it? She certainly didn't do a very good job. Arquette should probably stick to writing poorly-worded letters to Penthouse; that's basically what this reads like. Except that even the sex isn't any good.

A great book and a nice change of pace,
By C. A. Sterling (Alaska) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deadly Perversions: A Decadent Little Novel (Paperback)
Don't have a clue what the reviewer (see below) is thinking. She/he best go back to watching their soap operas and reading romance novels, and possible catching up on Mr. Ed reruns. Deadly Perversions is a great book because the author doesn't take things too seriously. That's the point. That's the beauty and pleasure in reading Arquette's novel. Obviously, some people missed this creative slant entirely. It's a fast read, because it's so entertaining it's hard to put down.
