Title: I have to disagree...
Product review: The other reviewers liked this book so much, someone ought to present a contrasting view. This was given to me as a gift, and I frankly found it unreadable. Circus freaks, horses, nymphomaniacs...the whole thing reads like a writing project by a talented but "rebellious" 10th-grader. Far from being "brutally real" it is a sort of adolescent fantasy, which anyone out of college will dismiss (or so I thought before logging on to Amazon). And there is nothing "poetic" about Estep's style; the best that can be said about it is that it is spare and unassuming. I don't know much about Estep but she strikes me, in both her writing and her "spoken" albums, as primarily a self-promoter trafficking in tittilation.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
