Title: A depressing read
Product review: The book cover say that this book is "hilarious" and touchingly funny. I would say this book is neither and is merely depressing. If you are looking for an entertaining, fun, up-lifting read, do not read this book. The book includes themes of divorce, rape, nervous breakdowns, institutionalization, dealth of just about every loved one that exists, HIV/AIDS . . . . At about 3/4's of the way through it, I began to wonder if ANYTHING good was EVER going to happen to the main character. Finally about 25 pgs. before the end, it brightened up a bit but with still very weighty material mixed in.I think the author is very talented. He DID make me feel he had a great idea of what it is like to be a woman. His style is great too. But that is the best part of this book.
