Amy, you're awesome. Can I use that word again? Great job. I have to admit, I did get a little confused at some parts of the book, but everything came together. Have you started writing your next book?

Amy Guth's debut novel is an extraordinary mix of poetry, punk rock, prose, politics, philosophy, science and religion. Skillfully, she weaves together the story of three fallen woman in language that brings texture, feeling, meaning and imagery to string theory and the interconnectedness of all things. In both big-picture and small-picture terms, Three Fallen Women will challenge your psyche; simultaneously, I prayed for salvation of each woman and revered them for their dysthymia and dramatics. Bizarre? Yes. Brilliant? Absolutely. Beautiful? Unquestionably. Indeed, Three Fallen Women may change your life.

This book made my head spin. It was like reading a thousand little things that had happened to me or someone I knew and they suddenly made sense. I had to go buy a bottle of cheap wine and some cigarettes to stop my head from spinning. Excellent read.

Bold and daring. Descriptive, provocative and full of sensuality. Guth writes in a poetic fashion that is an important contrast to the harsh stories of these three woman. So New Media was smart in picking up this first time novelist. She has a very unique style in her expression and should bring the book world a crisp breath of fresh air. I look very forward to more work from this budding novelist.

What can you say about a book that opens with ritualistic sexual burning? The whole thematic wad, pun intended, is shot in that scene, especially with the (non-)reaction of one of the "fallen" women. The rest is somewhat over-cooked in a stream-of-consciousness, psycho-sexual way. Yet, the images do linger; the points about choices (taken and not taken) are well made. A good, even very good debut. Perhaps more like 3.3 stars. (Would have been better with a bit of story-building to set up and reinforce the more shocking scenes. By the 6th weird sex description, it was getting a bit old.)
