Negative Positive
Title: Cheap read
Review: First of all, the author writes from two perspectives he knows little about, a drug addict woman and and Iranian immigrant. The depiction of Iranian culture was a complete stereotype and often inaccurate. The transliteration of Farsi phrases would have been tedious for those not familiar with the language. Kathy, the female protagonist, is a cookie-cutter character from a cheap Hollywood flick and is hardly convincing. My second problem with the book is the overly-descriptive and far too frequent sex scenes. These scenes could have been done tastefully, instead, are disracting to the plot. Rather than constructing what could have been a fine peice of literature, the author has put together a cheap read.
