I have yet to see my copy to do a review on it, would be nice if I get it

Wow! This is definitely some crazy, off-the-wall stuff. But you know what, I think I actually liked it. It really grows on you. I'm sure I would never have discovered this book if it had not been for Library Thing's Member Giveaway/Early Reviewer's program. I would like to express my thanks to LT, the authors and the publisher for the chance to read and review this book. Here is a perfect example of the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover"! Please don't let the title scare you away, either. Three young men have contributed various writings to form this work; from poems and short stories to cartoons and musings. In so doing, they often lay bare their imaginations and gut-wrenching emotions. These three young men possess alot of creativity. Oftentimes, hormones have taken over the stories, as one would expect in young men going through, and just past, and beyond puberty. This is not literature in its finest, pure form; although every once in awhile a spark of true writing prowess shines through. No, I think this is something altogether different, and every bit as important as that literary classic. I actually felt as if I came to know these three, and that they have now been friends of mine for years. This book deserves to stand proudly next to America's Best Non-required Reading and Uncle John's Bathroom Readers in homes across the country. Good work, boys. ( )

I remember one of the authors of this book having an issue with the way LibraryThing was handling eBooks, with respect to the Member Giveaway service, and how he didn't like it. I also remember telling him that if I did win the book, I would gladly read it and review it here.

As fate has such a fortune to smile upon me, I won the book. Though, by that time, the author left LT behind, leaving me read the entire volume via Scribd, the fact that the author posted it here was the cause of the problem between him and LibraryThing in the first place. I like to stick to my word.

But I read it, in its entirety, even the glossary. It was a collection of poetry and prose. Some of the prose was semi-autobiographical, and other, purely speculative. It was written by four individuals, and basically read like a novelization of Monty Python's Flying Circus: As Written By Teenage Yanks.

But, it was clever. Some of the poems and vignettes actually had me laughing out loud. I particularly liked the bit about three Yankees drinking Guinness. That part was excellently done.

At times, the stories border on the immature, or at the very least, on the bizarre, but taken as a whole, Preparation Head was a very creative endeavor to collect entertaining bits of writing.

This book would probably appeal to those who have an appreciation of fine literature, but don't go rubbing everyone's faces into it (that is, people like, I assume, the authors of this book). ( )
