I had to start writing this review while I was reading! It took me just as long to write this review as it did to read the book!Reading this book is like being the slave of an acquaintance of an acquaintance for a day, someone that's a stranger, but you trick yourself into believing that they're not.
They'll tie you up and blindfold you and do whatever they want with you.
They'll put your hands in bowls and make you touch and guess the objects, like that old peeled grapes trick (eyeballs) in cheap Halloween haunted houses. Let's imagine they have a thing for the perverse and/or outrageous.
They'll put stuff in your mouth without telling you what it is. It may be your favorite food. It may be their ****. You won't know until they've done it.
They'll toss you in the trunk of their car and drive off. They could be planning to shoot you and fling you in a ditch or, worse, take you to Disneyland on your charge card.
If any part of the above sounds abhorrent, don't read this book. You won't like it. Go away.
If you're still here, I'll tell you more.
Yes, Hushour is going to stick his **** in your mouth and skull-**** your brains out, but you'll be so high on whatever he's slipped you prior to the debraining that you'll be weird-and-ly, completely okay with it. Besides, it's an extremely well-read ****, one that knows how to bend and stretch and **** and pound the English language into something new, disgusting, enthralling, and beautiful. I'm not sure if it's disease-free, but, hey, life's about taking risks and living!
It "slogged" a bit for me around the halfway mark, but not enough to buck me off completely. Besides, it's through suffering the long dark slog that one appreciates the dawn of new awesome when it finally arrives.
I will definitely be returning to this book again. Possibly many, many times. It's hilarious and clever, and maybe I'll learn something from a second or third reading.
TL;DR: This book is WEIRD!, but it's also pee-your-pants hilarious, outrageously crude, and downright wonderful. Enjoy!

The PoemSkull The Invocations Book 1 edition by JM Hushour Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Although I haven't finished this book, I wanted to review this now for anyone considering grabbing it while it is free--
This is a fantastic first novel. I'm usually very skeptical, but Hushour grabs your imagination immediately with the prose that alternates between heady and hillarious. This book reminds me very much of David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest; where the looming destruction of the "humanity" in humans was the ultimate tv program, the escape in "Poem-Skull" is similar, a slow descent into the electronic world, numbing unaware people into forgetting the world around them with the offer of a more "complete" life.
Fans of literary wit will love this as well--the world play goes from subtle to convoluted, the humor spanning from puns on philospher's names to a good poop joke. The characters are complex, but with some depth left to the imagination. And the author himself is a character, breaking the fourth wall occasionally, and is welcome to do so because the wit and reflection on the writing process is very clever.
I purchased this book before it was offered promotionally free, and I am happy with the purchase. The book is huge and engaging, and is a bargain for the amount of reading and enjoyment I expect. This book fills the void I felt when finishing Infinite Jest, and gives me some of the wit I enjoyed in Conferacy of Dunces. I've been waiting for something like this for a while, and Hushour delivers.
Wow .. this is a great literature and I highly recommend. Was a good read
The Poem-Skull is an ingenious, kaleidoscopic, tremendous work. Are you tired of the unending, insufferable parade of books on middle class decline? (There will have to be another annex built to house those monstrosities). If so, you have come to the right place.
Even with ironic detachment, The Poem-Skull has real and fleshy characters you become involved in and are not just place holders for the zeitgeist How do you know if you will like this book? Do you like oxygen? Do you like the way golden shafts of sunlight play on the white walls of Seville? Are you into metrophilia? Really? We should exchange numbers. For Hushour words are his bitches - nouns are forced to walk the street as verbs. Words are forced into positions they never wanted to be in and yet they dance across your retinas.
The poems - from famous to obscure - take on new life when ripped out of their surroundings and fed into the narrative thrust of the novel, some older works taking on modern overtones, the sinister becoming comedic and then the reverse. (These are all great poems in their own right and one of the wonderful things this book does is introduce you to a lot of amazing poets you have probably never heard of). This is like a midnight panty raid on your soul.
This work will be mentioned with Confederacy of Dunces and Catch-22 in terms of how funny it is and alongside Pynchon and Gaddis in terms of how brilliant. Hushour renders an even more complex, baroque satire of pop culture than Neal Stephenson. And did I say this book was funny? Holy crap it is funny.
Believe me, you want to be the sentient biped that says, "I tapped that monolith," before throwing your bone in the sky at the sheer exultation of reading this novel. There are hints of a second novel in the The Poem-Skull and I, for one, can't wait. I am humping this book. Join me in humping this book. The best part? You don't need any lube.
I don't usually read books in this genre but once I started I felt dragged in. The book sucked me in and spat me out the other side like a good book should. I loved the characters in the book. Character development was intelligent in a short and sweet kind of way. Authors sometimes overdo or underdo this, but Hushour's got it down to a science. The plot line was interesting and kept the reader wanting more. I warn you, though, this is the type of book you will probably need or want to read twice. I'm going to.
