Product Description
Product Description
Beginning as a modern military civil affairs action, Drawers & Booths spirals into a metafictional journey, testing the boundaries of reader and author, narrative voice, and characterization--the wrapping for Ara 13's satirical analysis of morality in light of evolutionary psychology.

Drawers and Booths, Oct 23 2007
By P. McCalla - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Drawers & Booths (Paperback)
Drawers and Booths is completely unique and original. Just when you think you know where it's going, everything shifts and goes, not just in a different direction, but to an entirely new reality. The book challenges traditional beliefs, certainly, and promotes self-examination, which we can all use. But what really gave me a kick about Drawers and Booths was the humor and daring. Some of Ara 13's antics in this book had me laughing out loud with delight. Don't let the gruesome first chapter stop you. This book is fun!

A disjointed journey into and through morality, Nov 25 2007
By Freeman "The last bastion of freedom is insid... - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Drawers & Booths (Paperback)
Drawers and Booths is an unpredictable and often startling romp that is purposely mistitled. It's a self-introspective journey into the mind of the author that also takes a hard look at a number of fairly interesting and possibly important questions. Intentional discordance is the rule of thumb as the reader is abruptly ripped out of one scene and dropped into a completely different environment without any segue way whatsoever.Drawers and Booths is a highly complex and often subtly witty piece of prose that will tax the mental faculties of many readers and leave others scratching their heads. If you already have a firmly cemented worldview anchored by Judeo-Christian belief systems it is likely that Drawers and Booths will irritate you and possibly enrage you. How dare the author put God on trial!
I will be reading this novel again - it is one of those that needs to be chewed over a few times. My rating may go up or down, but probably will go up. The jury is still out. One promise I can make is that Drawers and Booths is unlike anything you or I have read before. Highly recommended, particularly for those of you who like to introspect and question reality.
Disclaimer: I know the author and we have a long-standing friendship. If you ever meet him ask him about why he changed his last name to 13.

Are you sure you believe what you think you believe?, Oct 12 2007
By Chrome Blue - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Drawers & Booths (Paperback)
Drawers & Booths was for me a thought provoking "Mind Freak" that took me on an introspective tour through my core beliefs.At times I felt as though I was lost in a pitch black corridor in one of those "haunted houses" that pop up all over the place every Halloween season - not knowing where I was going to be taken next, or what I would see next, while reminding myself that it's all fake. Then just when I saw the light of the exit and walked through, I found myself in the "House of Mirrors". All I could see was myself, or a reflection of myself. Even though though my surroundings were now well lit, I still didn't know what was real.
So buy this book, or don't buy it. But whichever you do, don't trust that it was YOUR decision... you'll see.
