Sorry I Ruined Your Orgy by Bradley Sands
1.0
This book hold a very special place in the history of my reading life, it is the first book I have ever put down part way through never to read further on. It's rare that I read something I find bad. I've always, as a matter of personal policy, slogged my way through some pretty loathsome stories. SORRY I RUINED YOUR ORGY by Bradley Sands was just unreadable to me. I had to put it down about a quarter of the way through.
Essentially, this is a collection of Bizarro Flash Fiction. The fiction is very flashy and the bizarro is way bizarre. I can accept some pretty bizarre premises and I embrace the Bizarro genre whole-heartedly but this stuff was so far out there. I couldn't believe this counted as writing. I couldn't find one shred of anything which to grab hold of and relate to on some level.
There must be someone out there who gets this. Someone who can make the connection. There is no way someone would have taken the trouble to write all this and someone else taken the time to publish it without believing it had some sort of literary merit. I would love to speak with anyone who gets this work. I would like desperately to know what I was missing in the translation.
Maybe I'm right though. Maybe this is all just drivel. Maybe Bradley Sands wrote this in his sleep, slapped it up on Smashwords and let the fools drop a dime on it. Perhaps that above all is the brilliance of SORRY I RUINED YOUR ORGY.
