Title: Hmmmm
Product review: Well, I really wanted to love this novel. It seemed just my kind of thing when I read the editorial reviews. But I was deeply disappointed. All I can see is that this book was so busy kissing its own well-made-up, taut, goth buttocks it had not time for characterizaiton. There are some very interesting beginnings here (hence two rather than one star) but I never find the characters particularly plausible. The exception is Lucas, who leaps of the page real and fully formed, until the very end of the book where he stalls quite suddenly and falls into an inaction quite out of time with the rest of his persona.Brite's prose is good and it's a very readable book, but motivations weren't clear and depth of personality of characters lacked. There are more interesting 'mind of a killer' novels out there.
