RaveBombThe straightforward title of Kevin Killian’s Selected Amazon Reviews belies the remarkable scope of this text ... Killian’s posts may have begun as a low-stakes effort to get words on the page, but they quickly evolved, and soon his tone and approach became as varied as the products he considered ... Reflect[s] the immediacy and authenticity that are hallmarks of the New Narrative movement ... Killian creatively exploited Amazon’s need for user-generated content ... A compendium of illuminating works of criticism that showcase Killian’s prodigious knowledge and omnivorous appetite for literature, film, and pop music ... Wonderfully weird, and it’s as difficult to pin down as it is to put down ... A marvel of a book, a sensation of wild serendipity, and a virtual opus. Anyone who gets a copy is certain to find something to love in its pages.
