Title: Semi-Modern Lolita
Product review: This book has been harshly reviewed but I did not find it that awful. Yes, it is a bit of a "Lolita" rip-off but Rice adds enough of her own personal touches to this novel to further itself from "Lolita". Some of the differences include the portrayl of the characters. For example, Belinda is a street smart girl who really does love Jeremy unlike Lolita who seemed to be more infatuated with Humbert rather than really love him. Jeremy, on the other hand, is very similar to Humbert simply because he is totally in love with Belinda. While I did not fully appreciate Holy Communion made into erotica, I thought it was an engrossing book. If you are looking for something quick to read, this is a good choice. Not every work of literature/fiction can be deeply meaningful or serious; some fluff every once in awhile is refreshing. Also, if you are looking for erotica, this is a good bet. Especially the scene involving red wine towards the beginning of the book.
