Title: Weak, pretentious, juvenile
Review: One of the worst books I have encountered in the past year. There are a host of technical problems, especially with regard to point of view, which is rarely clear. The characters are utterly unbelievable. (Confronted by a violent animal rights activist, Mercedes hands him her fur jacket, suddenly agreeing with him that "It is stupid!") Most unforgivable is the use of the f-word in the authorial voice, as in "They resumed f***ing." This book was silly and ultimately boring.
