Title: rrrrr...
Product review: This book was a grave disappointment. Mr. Disch is a great writer, full of good turns of phrase and well described settings, but the characters in this book were made of wood, the plot jumped around to no effect, and I spent the last 100 pages waiting for it to end.On a more global level, the only explanation ever given for the main characters actions are that she was abused as a child, which perpetuates the harmful stereotype that the victem inevitably becomes the victemizer. It's also way too pat and explanation, and never gets fleshed out. The book kind of resembles a work by the Marquis deSade, a repetitious catalog of horrors without a real plot or characters. Unfortunately, it lacks the sex.
