Coma Therapy, an excellent book of poetry and short story's of daily life written by Eric Victorino former member of a local Campbell band Strata and in current band The Limousines. To start off, his writing style is amazing and the word choice is really good. I also think that the layout of the book is also really good as well. The genre off the book would be poetry and biography because in the book there is a good mix of some of his poetic literature and well written stories about him and his...more

Bukowski fans, barely legal scenesters
This reads like a modern youthful Bukowski. Victorino writes about cell phones, technology, and touring the way Bukowski describes his typewriter, letters to women, and getting published. The drugs and alcohol are all there, the references to childhood memories and lost pals, the caffeine addiction, the only difference is Victorino's clear adoration with one woman (who becomes his wife) in opposition to Bukowski's never-ending womanizing. It's refreshing.

Victorino used to sing for a band I liked called Strata. He now sings for a band called The Limousines, which I also like. As an author, his writing is superb. The book contains freeform prose in which Victorino questions God, religion, war, famine, death, love and multiple other topics. I've read this book a couple times and keep a couple poems close to my heart, especially "I Am a Saxophone". He has a couple poems in here that I'm not too big a fan of, but there are more than enough poems for...more
Found it to be a great alternative read from my usual preferences and once started I didn't put it down Eric has a good talent for writing and I felt a connection with alot of his stories, im not one to lend out books but my copy of coma therapy circulated my friends group rather quick if you have a oppertunty to find a copy I suggest you get this one
A good read for pretty much anyone. I can't think of anyone I know who loves books that wouldn't love this.
Great book full of compelling life stories.
great
Peek into the mind of Eric Victorino, taking things from his past and present, his truth and fantasy in a roughly poetic format and presented to the reader in such a way that one would want to read it in a silent room with a cigarette. Victorino takes his words and makes the reader swoon with purely rock star charm. Read this book, it is as entertaining as it is inspiring.
surprisingly beautiful at times. sometimes prose masquerading as poetry, but that's ok. it's still aces.
This book is amazing, it takes you inside the great mind of Eric Victorino...I love it :)
