Here's what people are saying about the Acid Logic book:



"Wil is a cynic's cynic, but in the depths of his filthy black heart he hasn't forgotten how to love. Or how to write."

Mike Daisey, monologuist ("How Theater Failed America") and author ("21 Dog Years: Doing Time @ Amazon.com ")



"Forbis has that rare thing, an open mind, with tons of random stuff flowing through it, and a crow's eye for the glittering oddities of pop culture."

John Richardson, author "My Father the Spy," "In the Little World"



".the most entertaining book I’ve read all year. Forbis’ juxtaposition of subtlety, cynicism, and over the top ranting (not to mention his penchant for asking his interview subjects truly interesting questions) makes for a dizzying ride through the annals of pop culture."

Rich Evans, Exotic Underground Magazine (xmag.com)



"Take one part Rolling Stone’s Lester Bangs with two parts National Lampoon’s Michael O’Donoghue and stir in a swizzle stick of Salon.com’s Cintra Wilson, and you have the intoxicatingly addictive cocktail that is Wil Forbis."

Earl Horlyck, Sioux City Weekender
