Review title: What's so shocking about this?
Product review: Supposedly this book is incredibly shocking and disturbing---nah. I've read worse. I got through half of it and stopped reading it, it disappointed me so much. I was building myself up because every review raves about it, but frankly, it ain't that great.Perhaps it's Godfrey's style that did it for me. I believe it's called stream of consciousness...? Anywho, it didn't sit well with me. When the narrarator has abstract thoughts floating in and out of her lines, the reader starts to feel as wasted as the main characters....Although maybe I'm being too harsh. I should have given it a fair chance by at least finishing it, but it was too much of a let-down. I expected more stomach-churching, gut-wrenching, gritty events...and it was more like a shrug-your-shoulders kind of deal.Plus, if the author has the character(s) use the f-word that much, it just shows they're trying too hard to come off as tough guys. It achieves the opposite effect.
