Title: Horrible, Trite, Smarmy and Forgettable
Review: As a gay man, I really looked forward to "The Catch Trap" as one of the few love stories that would really speak to me. Instead, I found a book full of unbelievably shallow and sacharine characters with little to no appeal.Aside from the circus setting, I found the two main characters so stereotypically sappy as to be laughable in all the wrong places. I felt insulted at every turn of the page as the two boys/men toggled between love and hatred of themselves and each other.Admittedly, I'm no fan of Bradley's writing, and "The Catch Trap" is the perfect example of why. While I understand from many a friend I've discussed this with that I'm of a minority opinion here, I can't help but recommend that this book NOT be read...by anyone.
Is the review positive or negative?
