Slaughtermatic

By Steve Aylette

2.5 out of 5

I enjoyed reading this short book, but afterwards I had that guilty feeling I used to get after seeing a gory B movie.... It was fun, but I don't really want to admit to anyone that I enjoyed it.The story itself is a bit confusing and choppy, but there is enough entertainment on each page to keep you reading.

As a matter of fact, this book contains some of the best sentences ever written. Here's a couple of my personal fav's...

"He had a big soul which he sold by the hour."

"Father died in a voting accident."

...and my personal favorite sentence in the whole book...

"A convict in transit convinced the cop to whom he was handcuffed that the cop was the guiltier man, at which the cop shot him and escaped."

That one had me laughing for hours.
It's little jewels like this that kept me reading.
