Title: High Art, not like Exposure
Review: I enjoyed the 1991 movie Exposure, ( http://www.amazon.com/Exposure-Peter-Coyote/dp/078310135X ) so I thought I would also enjoy High Art, the novel on which the film is based. Both book and film are set in Brazil and tell a story of revenge in the underworld of that country. However, where Exposure kept the plot moving quickly along (and had some good fight scenes for martial arts fans), the plot of the book plods slowly along, giving out pertinent details only reluctantly, in small doses, while its author tells a narcissistic and pornographic soap opera. Much better reading can be found on my Books for Guys list at: http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/listmania/fullview/R3A2ZOJIC3IOSA/ref=cm_pdp_lm_titleExposure
Is the review positive or negative?
