Title: Pretentious and annoying.
Review: What is up with the lists of punk rock bands?? and all this 'let's get our kit off and have a romp' business?? we GET IT. Clare and Henry have alot of sex. can we talk about something else now. I hated their friends -- Gomez and his girlfriend (i can't even remember her name now. she was THAT superfluous as a character.) -- pseudointellectual yuppie types with no real depth or purpose. And then the untranslated German and French quotations and poems..why?? Okay okay you work in a library and read alot. Your wife makes paper. UGHHH. Book was also unnecessarily looong and plodding..did we really need to describe things in such painfully unbearable detail? The ending was also a bit of a let-down.In short, an interesting concept (i obviously bought into the hype) but i would be quite happy to sell this to someone else.
