This is Barry s first ADULT book he s known for his YA books, but he decided to write a book for adults It s about a writer who sells his soul to the devil for a mega hit book It s funny but it also has many sex scenes And lots of sexual references and bad language so I would NOT recommend it to anyone under 18 unless you re an avid romance reader and that doesn t bother you Let s just say if you think my books are a bit racy stay away I m enjoying this book the humor is dead on and Barry s such [...]
Hey, did you ever notice that if you subtract the He, for hell, from writhing, it becomes writing This was a very odd tale Full of sex and and crude language, don t for one moment believe the dirty part is of the description is in jest The book made me cringe especially the dad parts yikes It was funny in a few spots and kept me wondering how it would all end up I enjoyed the adventure but I don t think I d want to read another if it became a series.
This book took me way longer than I should have, it is easy to read and sort of short, and the chapter structure is engaging and fluid.But just like Randall, the main character, when I began reading this book I was different man at the beggining from the man I had become once I finished it I hope for my own soul, it was an inverse process A story about an avarage writer while struggling with making ends while writing his next book A man regular man who wants to bang all the women he meets, you k [...]
Just a really fun ride The prose flows and you can navigate the forest with the characters I found myself shaking my head and willing the characters to make certain choices while also acknowledging that they had to do certain things or this would be a short boring story
Clever with something to sayQuite a bit of meta fiction in here, But not in the corny 90s style More like adding depth to what on the surface is a beach read There is to it than that for sure but still funny and entertaining.
Completely unexpectedI m not sure how I even came across this novel, but I m glad I did It was thrilling, sexy and dirty in just the right way Now I m going to have to check out of his books
must read ive only read only one page n I m addicted
First of all I have to say that it was really hard to rate this book as it is to write a review for it because honestly I was expecting a 4 to 5 star book because of following reasons It was written by Barry Lyga and I like his style a lot The premise of the story that an author would sell his soul for a hit book was just amazingly hilarious I really like the devil and the dialogue between him and Randall It s funny, dirty and sarcastic.But there are just things that I can t get over When I firs [...]
Not what I was expecting.I was looking forward to Barry Lyga s first adult novel, as I Hunt Killers is easily one of the best YA books I ve read in the last few years and I was excited to see where an adult storyline would take him In my head though, I guess I was just expecting something a bit in tone with I Hunt Killers and not the drama dark comedy mashup that is Un souled The synopsis for this book is especially intriguing and can be summed up in a simple question What happens to you when y [...]
Barry Lygalove the boy His mind goes sick, sick places He puts his characters into untenable situations He toys with them He does that here Randall is a published author who wants He hasn t had any real successd is willing to sell his soul to the.whoops There is the devil, surfer dude, snarky to the max Ready to give Randall everything he wants.Randall is not likablehe is fixated on sex, a symptom of his disconnect which the real world Randall is a little man, with talent, but a disaster in man [...]
Any book that begins with this line is going to be interesting That day, I had a bagel for breakfast and sold my soul to the devil In retrospect, the bagel was probably a mistake You see Randall Banner is thirty five years old, a struggling author with a devoted fan base who is desperate for , yes he wants money, fans of everything I recently had the opportunity to interview Randall and now for about the book about him Randall Banner sells his soul to the devil in order to get a mega hit boo [...]
3.5 stars somewhere between I liked it okay and I liked it a lot Unsoul d is exactly as it s described, A dirty little fable, with extra emphasis on the dirty It s also extremely clever, funny, and unexpected The devil was probably my favorite character, if only for the way he s described and his perfect one liners, but I also happened to like Randall Banner, the self absorbed, insecure protagonist All the things that made him a terrible person also made him a realistic and likeable character.Th [...]
I ve read several of Barry Lyga s YA books and enjoyed them Unsoul d had a good premise although one that s been done quite often Author Randall Banner offers to sell his soul to the devil for a hit book and the devil accepts From there the story follows Randall s slow and steady downward spiral.I liked the book I did however find it to be a slow read I would read a few pages and then just wander off and pick it up again hours or even days later There was a bit too much raunch in the story I don [...]
This book is hard to review, because I am pretty torn about how I feel about it So I want to mention some key points about it 1 It is hilarious You will laugh, if not aloud at least in your head and you will smirk while doing so.2 The slight twist at the end was beautiful, and definitely the kind of ending this novel needed.3.The protagonist is wonderfully crafted, and he really drives the whole novel the way good writing should.The reason this doesn t get stars Too much sex I m sure plenty of [...]
The main character is SUPER unlikable He s a douchebag that fucks multiple women, is vulgar, lazy, does stupid adult things There s a lot of sex, to the point of being porn like And the things he does don t justify the ending.There s an underlying technique of is this actually all in his mind that distracts from the text.The central idea is what if a down on his luck author actually did make a deal with the devil for a bestselling book The problem is that this is a character book And the kind of [...]
We re all bad Is that true I asked the woman cuckolding her boyfriend with another woman s boyfriend in her roommate s bed.Vulgarity aside, and that s quite an aside because of the way this story works, I enjoyed this There s a lot of humour beneath the obvious, which is relieving, and indeed some masculine truths attacked head on It s also a Human success story, which is pretty neat, and amused me in several places in a quick sort of a way Not a bestseller, but with enough to warrant me having [...]
Honestly, I was a little disappointed by this book I really enjoyed some of this author s other books and I was hoping to get my niece into reading of his work This book has lots of foul language in it and is a little too sharing in some places for me This book is not for her to read I don t want to teach her things like this I liked the book and I will check a few books by this author because I loved his I Hunt Killers series soo much This book for me was not as good by far
While I am a huge fan of Lyga s YA novels, I was not as impressed with Unsouled That is not to say that I didn t enjoy it From the start I was fascinated with Unsouled s composition of characters, but ultimately became disinterested in Randall s promiscuity and half hearted self loathing It was during these parts that I craved the return of the devil and his witty banter While this novel did not meet the expectations of one of my favorite YA authors, it was definitely enjoyable than not.
I m a little on the fence with this one I loved I hunt killers, and loved the premise of this so quickly bought it I just hated the character sigh I guess that was the point, but honestly halfway through I was rooting for the devil and was a little annoyed at the ending I Really Hated This Guy I guess it all worked out, and I can reconcile the whys I loathed him and some of the other characters I guess everyone gets what they deserve in the endbut it just depressed me another deep sigh
Not what I expected, but pleasantly surprised Mr Lyga takes a stab at an adult novel rather than another YA love them Definitely much grittier than his YA You have to wonder thru this novel if the devil is really at play, taking Randall s soul bit by bit or just his psyche at play I wasn t sure I even liked the novel til the end, when everything pulled together I had to reflect back after reading to fully appreciate this one.
Really fun read, great dialogue, an interesting main character, original premise, and lots of raunch right up my alley What happens when a so so succesful writer sells his soul to the devil for a hit book A helluva lot A great tale of good vs evil that was hard to put down Very satisfying ending, too Check it out, if you re not a fuddy duddy.
Talented writer Barry Lyga has the ability to totally pull me into a story and not let go I started reading this and without meaning to finished it in one sitting There are some strange parts in it, and parts I didn t really necessarily like, but it also kept me reading until 5 am.
It s not that I don t recommend it, and I thought the ending was a really good twist, I just didn t enjoy reading it and didn t like the characters I want to feel attached to my characters, not want to boot them out of my house.
I really liked this book It is an adult novel and there is a lot of sex in it but, I really think that was generally important to the character building I absolutely loved the devil s character There is just so much about the book that I really liked, I couldn t put it down.
I liked this book and it made me laugh out loud at times, but it s not for everyone The subtitle a dirty little fable is important it s very crude Of course, what else can be expected of a story about selling one s soul to the devil I m still mulling what the moral of the story is.
I liked the story and the prose, but it was somewhat too dirty quoting the subtitle for me.
That ending was justI have no words It was a great read and totally unexpected ending, in one word amazing.
Loved this book Twisted in the right way.
really quick read I tried to make it last if you re bothered by swearing or sex then this not the book for you it made me question, just how many people have sold their souls
Great read Really great story Loved the characters Fantastic Story Could not put it down.
