Right Livelihoods begins with a cataclysmic vision of New York City after the leveling of 50 square blocks of Manhattan. Four million have died. Albertine, the "street name for the buzz of a lifetime," is a mind-altering drug that sets The Albertine Notes in motion.

The collection's second novella, K & K, concerns a lonely young office manager at an insurance agency, where the office suggestion box is yielding unpleasant messages that escalate to a scary pitch. Ellie Knight-Cameron's responses to these random diatribes illuminate the toll that a lack of self-awareness can take. At the center of The Omega Force is a buffoonish former government official in rocky recovery. Dr. "Jamie" Van Deusen is determined to protect his habitat -- its golf courses (and Bloody Marys), pizza places (and beers) from "dark-complected" foreign nationals. His patriotism and wild imagination are mainly fueled by a fall off the wagon. Only Rick Moody could lead us to feel affection for this man and the other misguided, earnestly striving characters in these alternately unsettling, warm, trio of stories.

Works well

Worked great at a budget price. I used it to damp a fiberglass loudspeaker horn. Easy to work with too.

Good material but bites back
Size: 20 sqft
Very good product for my rear trunk and backseat on my mustang. I would recommend some type of gloves due to the foil itself when placing down will cut up your hands and fingers. Overall good product for its price.

amazing product
Model: 36 Sqft
actually surprised how great the product is and way better priced then other companies. its sticky and also has thickness enough to cover metal parts on cars. i would recommend 100% just ordered another 18ft for the rear deck and to have some extra! does not smell. easy to install and helps stop vibration.

No more scrolling. Best price, abundant, does its job.

I have it under the closed cell foam. It’s great. Just as great as Killmat and all the other butyl rubber products. Let me ask you to do something: look at the people who rated it 1 and 2 stars. No reviews. No pictures. Why? They don’t want to see the most budget friendly product getting sold. That’s some weak business. Rest assured you’ll be happy with this. Why did I buy both types? Butyl rubber helps the car not be a tin can. It keeps the outside road vibrations out. Closed cell phone keeps your music in. They work best together., Kumbaya, we have unity! We can get along, even in this age in time. The closed cell foam is cheap. You’ll get it to replace the nasty cloth under your carpet. Do the knock test. It won’t help. You need this too. And truth be told, I prefer that it has no name on it. I’m not paying money so you can brand yourself on my car. Ps: these products go on and don’t come off. Don’t mess up. It’s the same for the competitors and the closed cell foam. One shot. Do it right the first time. I’m writing this review after I used up my first box and am getting more. Happy returning customer.
