What’s the first book you ever finished and still remember to this day?
Well i’ve never been a big reader. As i’m sure i’ve mentioned in the past, the only books i’d ever read are a few of the Mr. Man ones! Mr Bump sticks in my mind, so…
Everytime i tried to read, my mind would wander. ADD i guess. I needed something fast paced and quick to consume to keep my brain engaged.
Comics and annuals like Judge Dredd and the Dandy helped, but no books until…
I wrote it, then I read that beast!! 5 hours or so of high octain thrills and other awesomeness. Great for a nice weekend read on the beach this summer!
Here’s the run down:
Dookie: A Colourful Life is an irreverent, satirical novel by Tony Kearns. It follows Dookie, a disgraced Marine warrior who returns to his homeland and takes a job at a corrupt market place, only to discover that the corrupt forces of the world are secretly controlled by money-hungry intestinal demons.
The book is an anarchic, surreal satire targeting modern politics and societal trends.
Key themes and elements include:
The Premise:
After being cast out of the military for refusing a direct order on moral grounds, Dookie returns to Dragon Valley to work at a marketplace called “Hellmart”.
The Villains:
He discovers that corrupt executives, politicians, and authority figures are actually controlled by demons living in their lower intestines, which feed off greed and power.
The Heroes:
Dookie teams up with a motley crew of colleagues—described as “Snowflakes” and “Hipsters”—to violently and hilariously rid the marketplace of demonic rulers.
The Tone:
The book combines crude buffoonery, anti-establishment humor, and intense action to mock a wide range of modern issues, including extreme worldviews, neoliberal economics, and pandemic lockdowns
