Review title: Nasty, Brutish, and Short
Product review: I'd heard about this book here and there, and decided finally to read it.As soon as I started, I started wondering why.Not why are the events in the book happening, or why does the point-of-view character do thus and such, why did the big pre-book badthingthatchangedtheworld happen.No, none of those.Why am I continuing to read.Why am I continuing to read as the book sinks deeper and deeper into minutiae.Why am I continuing to read as the vagueness flows out over me like fog.Why am I continuing to read detailed and horrifying descriptions of kiddie porn.I couldn't tell you.Other than that, with very rare exceptions, I finish what I start reading.I have finished what I started.And I shall not start it again.Throughout I had a sense that this novel is about childhood and adolescence. Immature motives, immature feelings, immature actions.And at it's end, emptiness.
