After reading this bizarre title I had to give this short story a try just to see if it was going to be complete pornographic garbage. I loved this book and I was able to read it all in one sitting. With his short chapters and fast paced moving plot something was always climaxing, literally...
His humor he brought to the couple I enjoyed a lot. He made Stacy's boyfriend the most connected character in the story. I felt his pain every page I read from his shitty situations, his injuries, and the amount of awkwardness he had dealt with throughout his journey. Im actually surprised he had stayed with Stacy as long as he did, being able to put myself in his shoes I would say I would have left the minute things started to get a little strange.
This was not a raunchy book by any means. One can only say this after reading the story and not judging the author's title. He used great imagery and his writing style was very easy to picture what was happening vividly.
Mellick both grossed me out with his imagery but while reading I became accustomed to the fact that his concept is really not so out there. He in a way, gave a new twist on women and giving birth, expect Stacey had to do this in reverse and 'give birth' again with her boyfriend. But as far as his imaginative idea, I would have been just as squeamish watching a birthing film as I was reading the boyfriend's experiences. Stacey's boyfriend is almost the gateway of what infants would experience if they had an already developed understanding of what was happening like adults.
Overall I had fun reading Mellick's writing style and getting a good laugh out of the dialogue over the actual plot of what ended up happening to the characters. This was not a disappointment to me reading this short story, as it gave me a chance to explore my own thoughts easy while reading his work at the same time. He kept me wanting more after I finished his book which is always a great prerogative.
