Can YOU handle the TRUTH of this SHOCKING CULT CLASSIC?
WARNING: THIS GROUND-BREAKING & ORIGINAL TRUE STORY MAY CHANGE YOUR LIFE...
A dark, painful, vulgar, true to life story of simply being human.
It's written with flair, honesty and without doubt love, and is the kind of book that could readily be misunderstood.
The degree to which you reject the storyteller and his tale will tellingly reveal how you judge yourself.
Paul Pisces writes with charm, wit and style about the parts of me I'd rather disown.
By his owning those parts in him, I too am given another chance.
They say honesty is the best policy.
This book is vulgar, shocking, painful.
The price of honesty.
It's also very funny.
How will you judge Paul Pisces and will he find some sort of redemption?

Loved it!
Highly entertaining.
A gritty and humorous account of one man's fall into alcoholism.
Explicit sex scenes are not for the faint of heart.

I greatly enjoyed this book.
It is a quick, easy read in a light and humorous tone (despite the dark subject matter), organized into short, bite-sized chapters.
I found the writing to be very relatable and down-to-earth. However, it is not for everyone.
It is an autobiographical account of a tech-industry professional’s gradual descent into severe alcoholism.
Along the way, there are a great many rather graphic descriptions of his various sexual encounters, often with prostitutes.

Without being preachy, this is meant as a cautionary tale against the perils of alcoholism and addiction.
It is also intended to be entertaining enough to hold the reader’s attention.
I think it does both of those things splendidly.
If you only read the first part of the book, it might seem that he is glorifying excessive drinking.
But, as in life, the shadows lengthen over time.
Pisces is merely relating the events as he experienced them.
I think that former, current and potential alcoholics will likely see a relatable and kindred spirit in the author, and perhaps find hope and acceptance in his story.

Overall, I thought this was a great book, with many laugh-out-loud moments and even some tears.
It deals with some dark and difficult subjects in a funny, gritty and genuine way.
Some may prefer to steer clear of it, but for others, I would say it is well worth the read.

• I am a small piece of God's flotsam & jetsam washed up on the shore of life.

• I live at the edge of madness,
  As I scale the mountain top,
  Up here it's quite peculiar,
  It's where mortals fear to tread.
  Saints are on my right side,
  Satan on my left,
  The Angels smile politely,
  As they tuck me up in bed.
  I'm high up in the mountains,
  Where the mythos is too thin,
  There's little air or oxygen,
  Most here, like me, are dead.
  I used to think so clearly,
  Now I don't think at all,
  The remnants of my sanity,
  Shotgun blasted from my head.
