Review title: Tepid
Product review: A strangely listless novel by the author of The Kiss. Thewriting is stilted with some typically florid passages about lakes ofblood, etc. Expect the usual taboo father-daughter stuff, but with a Sino-Russian twist. Despite the multiple plot lines, there's little suspense. The characters are paint-by-numbers except for a lithping math wiz who seems cousin to Colin Harrison's bombshell math wiz in Afterburn. The sex scenes are bloody awful, though not as awful as the bionic sex scenes in Afterburn. The utterly predictable ending confirms that the novel's basically a Kate Chopin re-hash, so why not re-read The Awakening instead? It's a much better book.
