This sequel to the hilarious and witty Subsurdity will be eagerly consumed by fans. For the most part, the engaging, outrageous antics of the residents of Jasper Lane deliver a fast paced, entertaining ride but this sequel lacks the same level of humorous impact as its predecessor. While continuing with many of the same quips and gags as in the first book, this sequel has a continuous feel as if the previous book never ended. Unfortunately, while this works on one level, the downside to that is...more
Another hilarious book by Eric Arvin.
In this sequel to Subsurdity we catch up with the quirky characters of Jasper Lane as well as meet some new ones. There are old secrets that are threatened to be exposed and there are some new ones thrown in.
Terrence and his son (Christian) go on a father/son camping trip that isn't quite what Terrence is expecting (he has got to be one of my favorite gay characters ever). Cassie's son comes home for awhile but acts mysterious. Vera goes a little undercover...more

Another great addition to the Jasper Lane series. In this book we revisit all our old friends and make a few new ones. Jason, Cassie's estranged son, has finally come home. A lesbian couple, Keiko and Asha, move in. A very strange, creepy man, is renting "cock-ring-girl's" old house. James has a new buddy on his Rugby team named Seth. Terrance makes some friends when he takes his son, Chris, to a father/son camp.

This is a totally different kind of book for me. It was the book someone else picked for me. At first I would have only given it 2 or 3 stars, but after some thinking I have decided to give it 4 stars. It was a well written book and has loads of characters. I had to write the characters down to keep them all straight. It was kind of like reading a soap opera. There was hardly any sex or kinky stuff. It was mostly about the lives of all these characters. You do find yourself wanting to know more...more
Fun, funny novel made of intertwining stories in the tradition of "Tales of the City." Arvin's Jasper Lane books have a nice mix of the sweet and the sassy, the serious and the sexy. I'm hoping the cliffhanger in the concluding chapter of this volume indicates there's a third volume in the works.
This one didn't sparkle as much as the first in the series, but it was still a great read!! These characters are so endearing and I really enjoy seeing each one move forward in their story in conjunction with their neighbors. But man, at the cliffhanger!!!! That was just *mean* Mr. Arvin!!!!
This is me bowing down to the comedic talent that is Eric Arvin....I don't know how he does it, but this book is another that kept me laughing from beginning to end. I wish I had a mind twisted enough to come up with funny stuff like this.
Another five star read!

WTF?!?!?
This second book in the Jasper Lane series was still packed with snark, wit and very entertaining if at times disturbing humor. It was a lot more mellow, and that awesome edginess from the first one was not as intense but still very engaging. I had a great time, laughed A LOT and really enjoyed the characters. I loved the "new" Melinda and her Coach Nipple, Terrence, the ladies from Jasper Lane still made me giggle and shake my head. Brilliantly ridiculous and absurd. A great satire. I'm...more

This was a fun and even more campy sequel to Subsurdity. The continuation of the lives of the varied and outlandish residents of Jasper Lane are even more outrageous than before. There are a few new faces, a few old secrets and new details, and even more surprise revelations. All I need to know now is -- When do we get more? It's been two years since this sequel came out and I REALLY need to know what happens next :)

Suburbilicious was a delightful second romp through Jasper Lane. Lots more drama, intrigue, and scandal.
As always, Eric Arvin writes with flourish and style. He makes it easy to get lost in the story and provides and pleasurable escape.
Can’t wait for the third installment of Jasper Lane.
There wasn't a bit in this book that I didn't like, and that's saying something. Laughed throughout the entire story and I want to live on that street. Preferably in Cassie's house. :)
Though not as funny as Subsurdity, it was still very entertaining and had me laughing out loud several times :)
Another fun installment to this soap opera like series.
The Absurdity continues, and so do the laughs.
