Book Review of Permanent Obscurity: Or a Cautionary Tale of Two Girls and Their Misadventures with Drugs, Pornography and Death

reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


Easy to read book and fast moving. I enjoyed this story about two girls who decide to make a dirty movie. At first I thought I'd be uncomfortable with the "femdom" stuff, but actually it's not that bad. Rather funny. The whole book is funny, actually -- from Dolores' voice to her relationship with her older boyfriend, Raymond. And what happens when Dolores and Serena finally make the movie has to be read to be believed. Be forewarned: LOTS of cursing, dark humor and drug-taking. I would recommend this to fans of Chuck Palahniuk. "Permanent Obscurity" reads like one of his early novels, especially "Survivor."
