Great read. The author wrote a story that was interesting and moved at a pace that kept me engaged. The characters were easy to invest in.

I am sorry I would love to read this book however when I go to download it it only gives me the option to download to pdf... I use kindle can you please help me with this?
Thank you,
Tiffy

Just like the title, this book is not for public consumption because of how well it captures our perception of what's real and what's not. How we value identity and what happens to us along the way in our quest for the perfect life. I struggled with the first three chapters and somewhere in between, it struck me that my approach to reading the book was flawed and I had to start from the beginning. Thank you Netgalley for the eARC.

Not for Public Consumption is intelligent writing, artfully arranged. In the end, we wind up looking into the hearts and minds of everyday life.

Read my 5-star review of Not For Public Consumption by Frank P. Lipton
This book is a wonder! I am surprised it is not mentioned more because it is absolutely brilliant. The paradox of our reality being an illusion so dependent on individual perceptions and experiences is brought out beautifully. It is also a reaffirmation that it is ok to not fit in, to not care about public opinion, to be essentially free. Five stars and more !!
Thank you #Netgalley and the publishers Razor’s Edge publications for this much prized reading

The book took me a bit off guard. I was expecting a gritty almost Hubert Selby Jr-ish story and although it confirmed in some ways, in other ways I did not find it engaging as I thought it would be. I enjoyed the play inside of the story and that Murray was always writing in his journal. His relationship with his cat and friends along with the blurring of sanity and insanity are also interesting, but perhaps this is a book geared more for the Millenials and Gen Z crowd than for a Boomer.

Thank you Net Galley for the free ARC.
This is a hard book to review, I want to say it is a thoughtful novel about those living on the underside of society - whether by choice or by illness. The protagonist, who goes by the name of Murray and definitely has had a different past, seemingly spins in and out of paranoia. The play within the book takes a more literal look at outcasts from society.
