An Exhilarating ORIGINAL Work of Art!!!!

This is, by far, the MOST ORIGINAL book or poem (take your pick) that I have ever read!!!! When I first bought "The Prized Southern Ledge", I was skeptical, but also very intrigued by the plot. As it turns out, my fears were unfounded, as this is one of the best books I have ever read! What makes this book more amazing is that it is written as an "epic poem", or generally in four-line stanzas that usually rhyme! The book is about a corrupt, futuristic society where crimes are dealt with by throwing the guilty over the courthouse ledge. The more severe the crime, the higher the floor from which the convicted are dropped. All this happens while blood-sucking lawyers feast while they watch the guilty fall to a near-certain death, which is analogous to ancient Rome's feeding of the lions. Nicholas Pein, the main character, must struggle to fight the corrupt government and defend his honor at all costs. In the same manner as Braveheart and Gladiator, "The Prized Southern Ledge" conveys the same feelings of shock, sadness, rage, and hope. I could try to compare "The Prized Southern Ledge" to another book, but that would not give it justice because there is simply no other book I've seen quite like it. If you only buy one book this year, make sure it's "The Prized Southern Ledge"!!!!
