  <about><![CDATA[Praise for &lt;i&gt;Broken Bulbs&lt;/i&gt;:
&quot;...a brilliant and stunningly original work, by far the best novel I read in 2008.&quot;
    - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.alternativereel.com/includes/cult-fiction/display_review.php?id=00067&quot;&gt;Alternative Reel&lt;/a&gt;

&quot;as authentic as they come, experimental without trying to be intentionally obscure, dark without making you doubt humanity, smart and energetic. In short, it’s great writing.&quot;
&quot;...it’s about obsession, self-negation, love, even God (“The Everything”), making Broken Bulbs an entirely unique take on a subject. It’s a science fictional, hard-boiled, poetic vision of drug addiction and hamsters (read it!) A great addition to a genre that has never existed before.&quot;

&quot;...this slim volume is the bastard child of Memento and William S Burroughs, absolutely not for the faint of heart nor for anyone seeking a nice, simple beach read.&quot;

&quot;An existentialist’s dream, the author has dug in deep and laid bare the raw emotion so candidly that we can actually feel the futility, the desperation, and the humour.&quot;

&quot;Philip Dick would be proud.&quot;
- &lt;a href=&quot;http://podpeep.blogspot.com/2009/01/review-broken-bulbs.html&quot;&gt;POD People&lt;/a&gt;

&quot;...the absolute perfect spot-on portrait of the mind of an addict.&quot;
&quot;The first chapter alone is a nauseating churn of short choppy staccato sentences, random thoughts and actions, that read like beat poetry at a slam.&quot; 
&quot;The whole thing is filled with crazy quips and one liners worthy of a high lighter so you can memorize and use them later.&quot;
- &lt;a href=&quot;http://llbookreview.com/2008/09/review-34-broken-bulbs-by-eddie-wright//&quot;&gt;The LL Book Review&lt;/a&gt;

&quot;...strangely complex and fascinating.&quot;
