Title: Kind of dumb.
Product review: I bought this book for two reasons. First, I like David Cronenberg movies a lot and I wanted to read this before I watched the film. Secondly, Ballard was recommended to me because I liked "Fight Club" and other books of the genre. I didn't like "Crash" a whole lot though. Sure, the idea of people obsessing with the sexuality surrounding car crashes is original, but it's a bit tiresome when it's dragged on for 200 pages (thank goodness the book isn't longer). I guess the book would have been a lot better if it hadn't repeated itself so often. I tired after the fourth or fifth time the main characters had sex after either causing a car crash, witnessing a car crash, or staging one. I gave this two stars rather than one because it has potential to be a good book. I don't know if I'll like Ballard's other works. I also want to say the Cronenberg film was pretty dumb too.
