Title: Crash. And burn.
Product review: I read the book. I had no problem with the subject matter. In fact, I was intrigued by it. BUT.. the writing was PAINFUL, repetetive and weak. How many times can you use the words "Stylized" and "Instrument binnacle"? Perhaps the idea was to make to characters and prose as mechanical as the object of their obsession. Maybe. That MAY make it forgiveable. But that doesn't make it good.The 2 stars I gave were STRICTLY for the subject matter. The writing itself was tedious. I think it's been a very long time since I've read a book that BORED me this much. I hated the characters, they were shallow and self-obsessed, and BORING! Any chance of erotic tension was lost because I honestly didn't give a rat's behind if the characters had sex or not. I stuck with the book, because I hoped there was a point. There wasn't.
