Review: It’s not a “Wonder” that you will enjoy this, “Man”!  #badwordplay

Man, I hate all of these books that have these boiler plate, cookie cutter premises!  Stop me if you've heard this one:An unassuming guy that would rather play World of Warcraft than do most things, has a standard karaoke accident, and afterwards he is able to give anyone a ridiculously strong orgasm, just by kissing them, and from there, goes on a whirlwind adventure of dealing with unwanted fame.Why didn't you tell me to stop?Okay, so maybe Orgasmo! The Wonder Man, is not your boiler plate story.  But that is the main reason why I like it.  In this climate where remakes, reboots, retellings, and re-imaginings are king, it’s kind of refreshing to see something different.  That is honestly what I have been looking for in my media nowadays: just something, ANYTHING different.  That’s why I enjoy Douglas Adams and Kurt Vonnegut so much, because those guys were BANANAS with their writing, and completely unique.This definitely falls under that large umbrella genre of “Black comedy” or “Dark comedy” or “Other words in quotations”, and it seems to me that for that type of comedy to work well, it also has to be intelligent and clever, which it completely manages to be.  The characters are solid, the pacing runs at a good even clip, and I thoroughly enjoyed it all the way through.Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go to every karaoke bar near my house, and subsequently be thrown out, for rubbing my face on the microphone….
