Review title: Ugly, pointless.
Product review: Steven Spielberg once said of the beach landing scenes in 'Saving Private Ryan' that soldiers that day had seen sights even gorier than what he chose to portray, but he decided not to show these images, explaining that it would be going beyond the bounds of decency.This is the key thing that has been missed by Ellis and those who praise his book. In the stampede to find a profound analysis, everyone seems to have forgotten that the jaw-dropping vulgarity of this novel is itself a demerit. Not every book that offends people has profundity or literary worth: some books simply offend. And books that are sick simply sicken.
