Title: Take away about 1200 pages and it might be ok...
Product review: I read most (all right, some) of this book. But as I was skipping ahead, I did not notice any significant change in the "plot" or "themes" (I use these terms very loosely). I am not shocked easily. However, I must say that I was shocked by this book. Shocked that an author can repeat the same mindless drivel, with no characterization, no plot, and hardly any development to speak of for as long as Sade managed to in Juliette. While initially titillating, I found the book to be ultimately exasperating, his nihilism juvenile, his philosophical cynicism infantile, his plotting sophomoric, and his point, well I must admit, I never found that.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
