Negative Positive
Title: A shallow wade through sexual waters
Review: I picked up this book because of a review on the Today's Show which touted it as dealing with the current concerns over child violence in our schools. Well, the book totally does not deal with that issue. Rather, it is a more in the vein of 'Diary of a Mad Housewife'. The preponderance of the book is consumed with lurid and detailed sexual acts (which do indeed keep your attention) but are not very well wrtitten erotica. If erotica's what you want, try Anais Nin's 'Delta of Venus'. If you want to read (yet another, yawn) a 'Wah, Wah, Wah, I'm a Bored Housewife' story, then here's your book complete with philandering husband, lesbian experimentation, and general malaise, boredom, and lack of fulfillment. It's a light read devoid of depth, insight, or even a new perspective on an old and very trite story.
Is the review positive or negative?
