Title: 'The Shell House', Hachneyed, cliched and BAD
Product review: There are almost no words to express how bad I thourght this book was.It is a very nice love story but I am convinced that if the two couples were hetrosexual rather than homosexual then nobody would think that it was any good. Being able to write about gay people takes neither wit, talent nor skill merly a little imagination, which is no recomendation at all.The prose was awful and if possible the dialogue was even worse. I hated the war peoms and feel that the opinions expressed about the first world war, however valid in themselves, were both hackneyed and cliched with no basis on real experience or research.The only saving grace of the whole book was that the author didn't use the traditional streotypes of gay men, but any merit achieved by this was distroyed by her use of streotipical religious charcters.
