Scripture, Literature That Is
-Time Sense Belongs This Curse
=the second published novel by Montetré=
Around a bunch of souls collate throughout what they can, some making fifteen years, while some not. This is a story of sacrificial terms, due the strength of two bodies in belief: Control & Survival, both together in gain. Seriously, it's epic. I wrote it because the material I wanted to put down from my head was so dense that if I hadn't, Hell an anvil could've hit me and there would have went all of the hard work, wasted. It is a book, but it is to be the most beautiful of films. Still, the book is engrossing and very visual, even if poetic in prose. Below are some nasty reviews that I have deemed awesome.
--99 Pages, 60,000+ Words
"The prose is wonderful, young, new, challenging and poetic -- but as a book it makes James Joyce's "Ulysses" or "Finnegan's Wake" sound as clear and distinct as "To Kill A Mockingbird" or a child's nursery rhyme. It is not a joy to most of us to read eloquent words mixed together into a cacophony, even if it is a musical sound, that needs constant dissection and redefining. -- By vinnyparrillo, Posted on Monday, January 3, 2011
"I don't know what the purpose of this book is, I struggled to find the plot, had no empathy with the characters and it was like being inside someone's head just going from thought to thought without purpose. At times it felt like I was reading a 99 page poem, which really isn't my thing." -- By Travis Casey, Posted on Tuesday, January 4, 2011

The Life Out Here
-The First Novel Published by MT-
Seven years into the life of an entrepreneur as he poetically describes his outlooks on life, death, love, friendship, the afterlife, lust, greed and the way of the sinuous dollar. Be with him as he details daily occurrences through present-tense journal entries. See it happen before your eyes, while catching a futuristically divine glimpse.
--269 Pages, 75,000+ Words
"I liked that the whole book was consistently a little timeless. The sense of time was warpy and strange. Pretty much brilliant. I was thinking Dostoyevski's Notes from the Underground-esque. Maybe Kerouac. There are enough good elements of the book for me to surmise that it is written by a talented writer." -- By Jessicarrot, Posted on Friday, April 3, 2009
"A unique character with a certain "spicy" nature, notwithstanding (his) dialogue which was purposefully non-grammatical to emphasize his dialect, and the sometimes ironical and clever mis-match of word choices Close to the hip. The reader can relate to the concept of 'leaving the world behind." I would certainly reread it. -- By Jim LaMattery, Posted on Tuesday, April 7, 2009
"Surely a talented writer. Character, structure, dialogue and description was excellent, sure signs of your amazing talent. Please write something else, I would love to read it." -- By Ashara, Posted on Thursday, April 16, 2009
"It is not often that I'm fortunate enough to be handed a book for the first time by its author. I encountered Montetre briefly through a mutual acquaintance...I do not know him, therefore this review isn't coloured by my knowledge of the book's creator.
In THE LIFE OUT HERE we have two separate books. The first book puzzles and challenges you. Little happens, beyond our introduction to the hero...or, rather, antihero; though I'm not sure either applies fully. It is filled with a distinctive, complex language that will make you wonder whether you're reading Thomas Pynchon or James Redfield. I consider myself well-read, which is why you should take me at my word when I say: You'll genuinely wonder whether you're reading the brilliant words of a genius, or the bumbling ravings of a lunatic.
As our (anti)Hero? wanders about, Caulfield-like, in his world of the first book, I attempted to relate to him. I failed. But knowing the book had come from such a young author, I was so puzzled as to the complexity of its language, that I held on.
The second book shifts suddenly from narrative to the dramatic and continues breathlessly to the end, which, thankfully, does not resort to convention. I was left blinking, wondering where the last hundred pages had gone. By the end, our (anti)Hero? has embodied despicable scorn for the vast majority of humans, puzzlingly self-deprecating and possibly even vulnerable emotion, super-human skill and knowledge, and base, elemental weakness and fear. Complex, to say the least. Intriguing, most certainly.
Montetre ends up telling a riveting story of murder and revenge that leaves absolutely no one fulfilled, neither character nor reader, yet he does so in a delectable-sort-of-way.
It is surprising, puzzling, revolting, and captivating, each in turn, but rarely simultaneously. If the book had come from a seasoned novelist, I'd have tossed it with a laugh. Knowing it had come from a 21-year-old's mind left me intrigued for days.
You will not regret reading to the last word of THE LIFE OUT HERE. Perhaps more than any other book I've read, you're left wondering more about the author who created it than about the book itself. We have much more to anticipate from Montetre, and I, for one, can't wait." -- By Benjamin Starr, Posted Tuesday, April 21, 2009
