Watch Out is the story of Jonathan Barrows, a man who falls in love with himself—literally. But is he indeed a man—or is he something more than merely a man?

The first two editions of Watch Out were published by a small press.

This is the third and final edition; it has much greater depth and is much more expansive than the previous two versions.

This is the only version of the novel that I endorse. There will be no other.

—Dr. Joseph Suglia

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I renounce all my early books and writings — including Hölderlin and Blanchot on Self-Sacrifice (2004), Years of Rage (2005), and the first and second editions of Watch Out (2006; 2008).

I no longer endorse any of these works. They no longer represent me as an artist, as a scholar, or as a human being.

Table 41 (2019) and the final version of Watch Out (2022) are the only books that I take responsibility for. I endorse Table 41, Watch Out: The Final Version, and my more recent literary-critical writings — that is all.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pointless and Horrific, OR Sick and Twisted
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2007
Verified Purchase
I adore comedy, philosophy and I appreciate dark humor. This book is for shock value. An intelligent reader will hopefully not fall into the ego trap, "only an elite reader will understand this book". It will leave one feeling dirty and mentally dismembered. It is not really all that funny, although it is meant to be tongue in cheek. I did not want this book in my house when I finished reading it, so I threw it in the recycle bin. It reminded me of a ouji board that I had to dipose of lest it beome a vortex to bring evil into the room. Yes, it was that strange. Not worth wasting one's time. If you value your brain and find your sensibilities to be sacred, avoid this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Aptly Titled!
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2008
Verified Purchase
Watch Out is an apt title for this book. I ordered it
after reading some of the authors other works
(online). I looked at the cover with its overlying
hands graphic, glanced at the back and got a glimpse
into the character, Jonathan Barrows. It appears he is
in love with himself,vanity times a million. How
silly, but it could be interesting for a while.

I started reading about the "protagonist's"
misadventures, meanwhile always keeping him in at an
arms-length definition of a silly man with delusions
of grandeur.

As I kept reading, something peculiar happened. I
started to identify with Mr. Barrows. People walking
about my city seemed smaller, more meaningless in
their droning days. Sitting on the bus actually became
quite a challenge as I had become sensitive to other
human presence. The smell of them. Not a stench in the
accepted definition, but the smell of skin, hair,
breath paired with the attempts to mask it with
deodorants, fragrant shampoos and perfumes. It
culminated in something invading to my persona. A mere
touch of someone sitting too close, with a thigh, hip
shoulder making contact with me made me want to jump
up and cast them into the aisle. But I kept reading.

Further misadventures, Mr. Barrows violated. The mere
fantastic aspect of it made it easy to be viewed
objectively, pure fiction of course. Then with a
flashback and flashforward Jonathan Burrows kills. He
murders insidiously. He enjoys it as an extension of
himself.

I sat back for a moment. I cannot relate to him now.
He was ridiculous at first and I had become so, but I
could never be more. So I let go of Mr. Burrows
perceptions and finished the novel. A good read
indeed, but for the even-slightly impressionable, for
the love of God, Watch Out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Garden Of Earthy Delights
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2007

If this book was a painting- I would compair it to the Garden of Earthly Delights
Weird, wonderful and full of meaning-every individual that reads it will find their own interpertation of what is writen.

Its a combination of Ann Rice's Sleeping Beauty, and the Exorcist, the wild imagination of Edgar Allen Poe and Ray Bradbury. The writing makes you think and use your imagination. The wording used is discriptive, the thinking disturbing, and the setting surreal. When reading this book you must be able to explore different thought patterns and recognise that the personalities in this book, not just of Johnathan Barrows, but the other charaters as well do exist-we just chose not to see.

The almight HIM may be stuck on himself-but he sure does have a fasination with David Bowie.

Watch Out is not for everybody, but would make a book worth having a group discussion about.

1.0 out of 5 stars Total Waste of Time
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2008

This is a sophomoric effort to emulate Georges Bataille. It fails abysmally. This is clearly one of the worst books ever written. You can read this garbage in a half-hour, but you'll never get that half-hour back. I cannot fathom how anyone with any modicum of intelligence can actually praise this garbage, unless you're a 13-year old kid who likes dirty words and torture-porn.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Watch Out "for this great novel!
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2006
Verified Purchase
Dr.Joseph Suglia's novel Watch Out has triggered a multitude of reactions and responses from me like no other book I've previously read. This will be the second online reveiw I have ever written, so please be gentle.

I immediately identified with the novel's protagonist, Johnothan Barrows from the very first scene(and that's about as far as I identify with him), where he is riding a train. The very presence of the public and society has him seething on the inside. Couped up like a sardine, Mr.Barrows is impatiently waiting to break free of this human/vermin germ container and make his bloody mark on the world he so vehemently loathes. I will not ruin this book for it's potential readers, but I will say that it takes the readers into VERY dark places that they most likely haven't been before. I believe that Dr.Suglia is giving the general American pop cultured audience all the violence and gore we are addicted and desensitized to(Saw, silence of the lambs, Hannibal are a joke compared to the veritable Hell Mr.Barrows puts his victims through). In my opinion, the book screams "Have you had enough yet?!?!"

This book is the modern day equivalent to Albert Camus' The Stranger and I hope it gets all the literary respect and accolades it deserves.

I would buy something by Palahniuk instead, and I'm not a die hard Palahniuk fan.
