O'Banion's ability to delve into the dark recesses of the human mind is truly remarkable. He explores the complexities of human psychology with a chilling accuracy, making the characters feel incredibly real and their actions believable, despite their disturbing nature.

I had the opportunity to read the stories in this book and I was truly amazed. The fruit cake story andbits significance in world history during battles was shocking. Congrats to the author for having the BOTD.

Interesting review! I like that you highlighted the author's funny short stories. I wonder why the author called it "Snippets from a Twisted Mind."

Not sure if this book appeals to my tastes, because what some people call hilarious, to my ears, sounds more disturbing than funny. Even the mentioned title of story "Death Lecture", evokes much different emotions than this and the topics raised in it require more serious consideration than humor and laughing. Apologies, I prefer to pass, but still congratulations on BOTD!

I had the privilege of reading this book when I was editing it. I absolutely loved it. I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. The book is very humorous, especially when the author narrates about life as a soldier.
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

“Snippets From a Twisted Mind” by Sean O’Banion is a collection of short stories. Nine chapters of very funny stories. The official reviewer found “Death Lecture” to be the favorite story since it focuses on the choices people make, how these choices affect their future, and things their future selves want their present selves to change, therefore, a touch of sci-fi. The book is recommended for adults since there is some sexual content. The stories are hilarious and the book is a quick read. The review was very thorough and definitely motivated me to add the book to my to-read shelf.

This 9-story collection features somewhat vague plotlines, but the mix of deep themes and humour is always a plus. Makes you question why the book title emphasizes a twisted mind. Read this BotD to find out!
I write the best reviews possible. :idea2:

Your feedback is invaluable, and I appreciate your recommendation for adult readers. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts!
