Title: Heavy going - great writing
Review: Be prepared, this is not easy reading. Theroux's writing style is packed full of convoluted and fantastically created sentences that require close attention and rereading. That being said, Theroux is a truly literary writer who dwells in the realm of introspection. His main character, tortured by love and full of misgiving, is led on a not-so merry chase by one of the most devious and conflicted females of literature. A truly remarkable depiction of a pathological love affair gone horribly awry.
