Cult of Two (Volume 5) (Michael Faudet)

My wife bought a USED one but she was so amazed to see that it’s actually brand new! No rips, no wrinkles—no damage! nothing! Comparing it to her brand new Michael Faudet Dirty Pretty Things! She’s collecting it all first before she can read it one by one!

Incredible book. Amazing writer highly recommend

love love love. Just. Michael Faudet continues to satisfy my reading needs. Highly recommend getting all of his books ♡

LOVE his use of words!

I enjoyed a few passages. Some known and basic trues are more powerful in writing. Too much erotica for my taste.

Out of all five works, this has to be Faudet's weakest. I'm being a bit generous with my rating since I didn't dislike it enough to stop reading.That out of the way, Faudet says in the introduction that the book is "[effing] haunted" and you would be seeing the ghosts of his first effort, Dirty Pretty Things, in the pages and I don't see it. It read a lot like the other four novels and at this point I'm waiting for Faudet to deliver something beyond a middle aged college professor's fantasies.The short prose sections in these books are tedious to get through at this point. I still have nothing as bad as the one "and then my girlfriend and I went to a club and she TOTALLY allowed me to have a threesome with the maid AND THEN THE MAID CAME HOME WITH US! DUDE!" from the fourth book.The poetry is weaker here as well, with some political pieces that ultimately feel tacked on, especially in a book that has SO so many poems about sex. And the social justice poems are usually one liners. I remember reading one and feeling like, "this is a strange thing to have in this book."I'm looking forward to more of Faudet's works only to see if there's a progression beyond, "and then we baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanged!"

Light and thoughtful

Be lost in the sublime. It this a great bed side book to have.

Michael Faudet is an excellent author, but the copy I received had a very off white colour, almost blueish-greyish. I’m really disappointed because my copies are all stained 🥺
