Neale Sourna's HOBBLE Critics' Reviews and Novel Excerpt

Neale Sourna's HOBBLE Critics' Reviews!

"Dipping into several genres from erotica to mystery, even sprinkling a little comedy into the mix, Sourne created a story like no other. This ... tale had me shaking my head in astonishment and I can honestly say I never read anything like Hobble before.

Sourne wrote a novel with such a large supply of twist and turns it'll have you dropping your mouth in shock. But be forewarned, Hobble has a crazy mix of characters.... Some of the sex scenes had me (a person who loves erotica) squirming.

Although the book is racy, it was an interesting read and should be picked up by anyone who enjoys reading something different from the norm."

"Hobble is a story of lust and obsessive sex ... I was so moved ... I went back to my (Franklin) dictionary ... hobble means to limp along ... to impede ... to tie-up, shackle or leash ... all of [which] were used in this steamy story, of sex, incest and betrayal!"

The YBFree.com review of HOBBLE:

"A dark, strange, and pyschologically violent novel that delved deep into how sex can be used as a vile weapon of manipulation and oppression. HOBBLE had many of the ingredients one expects from a good novel; theme, plot, likeable characters, and characters one just loves to hate. Literally every other sentence in the book is filled with some extremely graphic sexual acts. The characters in this story have sex about 75 percent of the book."

Donnie Darko_Yeah!!! S. Darko_Fuck No.

Just rewatched the original Donnie Darko, not the Director's or the release with extra title explanations. Always excellent, profound, emotional.

The so-called sequel IS NOT. It is a clarion call for never letting your ownership rights to your best characters get away or abused, just like your live children.

It's not an homage; it doesn't respect the previous work as the makers have said elsewhere.

What it is is that someone had a new Red One camera (nice imaging in the film) and Fox or someone supplied some cash to get on the back of cult beloved Richard Kelly's creation Donnie (teen comedy, angst, thriller, mystery, family drama, psychological, sci-fi, and horror) combined all its subgenres perfectly, with affection, humor, and intelligence.

While the S.D. is a lesson in bad writing, bad direction, and bad producing; although they successfully made a film, but, however, made it incomprehensible and illogical and even nonsensical.

They clearly have not seen Donnie, or saw it and comprehended NOTHING; just looked at stills and pulled images, and then jumbled up motivations and established conventions.

You guys really didn't understand the water spirit spears, did you? Admit it, I know you didn't. Was he in alpha state wakefulness or full dream walking with eyes open? If you can't answer this question--and you can't--then you shouldn't have made this crap.

It makes no sense in any dimension, has no soul, and is only to be seen if you are a writer, director, producer or just someone wants to see how to take great images, some money, and then ENTIRELY MISS ALL THE POINTS and make something SO BAD IT HURTS.

The s. Darko group didn't get it. They didn't understand...

Seeing the TRUTH and completely understanding it, while all around you do not?

Do you understand SACRIFICE? Donnie's sacrifice?

And SAVING THE WORLD with the pain of your own love? Clearly NOT.

"Writing about sex is too easy and not REAL literature."

How many times have you heard this, or something like it? Or maybe I just notice it when its spoken and, sometimes, not spoken, but implied in tone and texture--because I am a writer, of erotica, both soft and hardcore.

Do they say "Writing about violence is too easy and not REAL literature," or "Writing a mystery about murdering people is too easy and not REAL literature"?

No.

Writing sexy and loving material about gentle loves and hard, physical loving and lovemaking is FUN, but takes energy and focus and SKILL. Try it sometimes yourself.

WRITING PROMPT:

1. Write a scene about two sweet people (of whatever gender and sexual persuasion) who BELONG together in every way you can imagine and admit their love to each other.

2. Now, rewrite it with one of them balking and dragging their feet about admitting true love.

3. Then, rewrite it with both of them clearly want each other, but they're hardcore about pushing each other to the edge. You pick their sexy edge: sex in the open, a little violence, some bondage, menstrual blood, cutting, etc.

Hm, not so easy now. Or do you think these characters, these realistic "real" people are just deviants and not interesting or appropriate for an general, adult audience. Hm....
