Oh wow.

How to even start approaching a review of this?

Oh, I know - I won't.

EDIT: Look up "Steve Aylett's LINT THE MOVIE" on YouTube!!

This is a funny book, although I have a feeling that large chunks of it went over my head, and that it may actually be an hilarious book.

The Star Trek chapter was brilliant, and my favourite line in the book was this:

"On July 13, 1994, Lint had a near-death experience, followed immediately by death."

Very silly fun but I think a lot of it went over my head. Best for Sci fi enthusiasts

what. the. fuck.

I have no idea what to think of this book. in part it was the funniest thing I've ever read, at other points it was completely baffling bollocks.

confusing, hilarious and incomprehensible.

The most niche comedy concept I have ever seen committed totally too, done perfectly.

I found this amazingly well written. Although, I had to read it in spurts as it was a bit much at times.

This is an interesting concept, an autobiography of a fictional pulp author. I didn't realize at first that the subject was made up and started racking my brains trying to match up the pulp titles I read as a youngster.

Using a mash up of several prominently weird pulp authors as the idea behind Jeff Lint, this works extremely well. The book is bizarre but extremely funny.

I'm going to have to look for a wishlist to send this off to, as it deserves to go to someone who wants to read it rather than the serendipity of wild releasing it.
