Pink Planet by Jon R. Meyers
4.0
PINK PLANET is not erotica. PINK PLANET is smut! It is shameless, unapologetic smut. Author Jon R Meyer presents his ode to 60s era smut pulp and it feels so wrong and reads so right.
There is really no reason to like PINK PLANET as much as I did. There are technical/editorial concerns, yet it is still readable. There are questionable character motivations and yet I find them largely believable. And WTF with Snouk the giant spider? He seems almost thrown in there as an excuse to call the book bizarro, and yet he's lovable and acceptable like a character in a movie you know is only there so they can sell toys of it.
Despite all the shortcomings, I loved this story. It's whimsical. Its real when it's not over the top. Its entertaining to read video game play in prose form, quite a feat. Under it all, its solid story telling.
If you like your fiction rough around the edges, read this. If you like a story with B movie sensibilities and grindhouse flair, read this. If you flat out need smut in your life, read this. I did and enjoyed the hell out of it!
