1) Hardcover Book Torture the Artist by MacAdam/Cage. A truly great concept novel in that it explores the implication of a societal trend by pushing it to the extreme. In this case, a boy is tortured for the sake of producing art. No real drawbacks other than the language use is fairly straightforward; the book could have used more beauty to reflect what beauty the tortured boy is meant to create.¤

2) Hardcover Book Torture the Artist by MacAdam/Cage. I loved this book. The writing is funny, and it´s a good-sized read - not too long, not too short. I especially enjoyed the author´s main expose: our popular culture is getting less intelligent every year. Not that this is a sudden revelation; we all know it. But, the author presents the argument in a way we can all relate to (unless you like all the reality TV out there today).

3) Hardcover Book Torture the Artist by MacAdam/Cage. I don´t know anything about this author, It wass suggested to me by amazon. Way to go amazon! I realy enjoyed this book. The first page realy set the intrigue and that is the way a good dramatic fiction should read. This book may seem to slow up a bit in the first third- but then it realy takes off on it´s own. The mother in this story reminded me of Gary Gilmore´s Girlfreind in Executionors Song by Norman Mailor. I was sorry that this book came to an end- I thought the charectors were easily identified. It´s not my style to tell people what books are about- just why they should read the book. Basicly the book is about a an artist who is almost engineered by a corporation. This is the kind of book that will leave memories with you that you will eventually mix up with your own experiances.¤

4) Hardcover Book Torture the Artist by MacAdam/Cage. Sorry to have to pan it, but as far as I got in the book, it was self-important and self-indulgent.¤

5) Hardcover Book Torture the Artist by MacAdam/Cage. TORTURE THE IMPOSTER

I know there are likely just under half a million Donna´s in the greater New York area. However, probably none of them loved The Anomalies and not Torture the Artist. It is, I believe, an impossibility. In fact, I appreciate TTA so very much, it is with painstaking depth of content and sincere admiration of the author that I am attempting to write a review worthy of the manuscript. The story is one we all know, but have never heard told. The voice doing the telling is clear and poignant and possibly (probably) feared. The fact that someone would assume my identity (albeit in such a trite and small-time manner) to lay falsehood to works of genius is simply a testament to the reality of the plot. An earnest review is forthcoming.
