3.5 stars.Wow--I actually had some idea of what a "header" was from another book that I had read by Lee, so I did have some idea what I was getting into here. Full of everything you would expect from Ed Lee--over the top gore, sexual depravity, and backwoods humor (yes, I admit to laughing at several of the comments!) Lee writes a story like few others. Alongside the the "main" storyline, is a parallel one that really worked well when blended into the first stream. The ending--shockingly--took me by complete surprise. Now I hear that Header 2 is worth looking into....... ;)Recommended to fans of extreme horror, without sensitive stomachs. :) What a strange, twisted and great book this was. I have read some other books by Edward Lee, so I knew what I was getting into, yet I had no idea what I was getting into. Header is a pretty imaginative story that left me cringing in spots. I'm sure the other people on the bus that might have seen my face during some of the scenes would have wondered what I was reading. I had no idea where he was going with the story, which is always good, and I really liked the way he change the voice of the story as he dealt with either of the two main characters. I've seen him to that before, but thinks it's such a great way to get the reader into the difference in each of their worlds.Though not for the squeamish, highly recommended. I also can't believe there is a movie based on this, but now I have to see it.
Do You like book Header (1995)?
The book was great but I bought the movie and it was CHEEZY! AND IT AIN'T EASY BEIN CHEEZY!!!
