Review: Intense

This is one of those stories that just isn't done justice by a plot outline - I had a funny expression on my face I was reading it and my husband asked me what I was reading.  I told him and he said that it sounded incredibly stupid.  The idea that somebody would stick a pool ball in his mouth for research is . . . stupid - but the writing in this story is so good that it just pulls you in.  It's incredibly intense - the author perfectly captured what he set out to capture.  It's bleak, disgusting, gut-wrenching, and sometimes funny.Between this andThe Allnighter, Stuart Connelly is one to watch.
