Satan Burger
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 4.3/5 from 23 reviews The World in a NutshellHoly crap!This is a book you just have to read. Buy it... Just get it. It reads kind of like a Vonnegut book, but it's a lot weirder than Vonnegut and is more underground culture than pop culture. The story involves everything from a dimension of midgets dressed up like united states presidents to Jesus Christ masturbation fantasies to a race of women who eat with their vaginas. There's enough story in this book to write a hundred books. But the basic plot is simple: some punks get jobs at a fast food joint owned by the devil while the world falls into apocalyptic chaos. I can't wait for more Carlton Mellick books to come out. I'm itching for more... mmmMMMMM! Satan burgers!Squishy, batter-dipped, soul-stealing cheeseburgers are deep-fried by our own resident homosexual ex-arch angel himself, Satan, while an overweight, lard-bellied messiah scrubs the bathroom floors with a crusty mop and bucket. Behind the counter stand your servers, consisting of a pierced and tattooed skin-head babe and an Asian kid who thinks he's a pirate. Aaargh! It's your modern day family restaurant! Just beware of the living, breathing demon-possessed appliances and the scorpion flies hovering above, waiting to paralyze you. Better get yourself a female baboon! Most books can't hold my attention for long. I consider myself more film oriented. But CM3's "Satan Burger" has breathed new life into a long dead literary world for me. This book is captivating and humorous like no book I've read before, and shows what a little style and imagination can do. This anti-novel should be required reading for all the *shrugging* school systems in America! Now, pass the ketchup. | ||||||||||||||||||

It is print on paper, yet it posesses an intangible quality unseen anywhere else. Best of all, it's unpretentious. Carlton Mellick III has to be one of the most talented and imaginative authors ever, silently ranking with the luminaries of our time.

The novel itself is a highly reflective walkthrough of life, subtly highlighting the inadequacies of humans in a surreal universe. But no, it is not a haphazard rant of anarchist emotions, but a vinyl tapestry of wit, insight and unadulterated storytelling. There is no suitable genre to filter this book through, as it is life distilled into prose.

A meaning to this book will escape everyone on the first read. Gradually, through time and effort, would someone take the first step into Carlton Mellick's wacky but sacred world of aliens, fast-food and demons. The experience is not to be missed.
