Title: Beyond the brink of porn and just third class fiction
Review: Explicit language in literature does not offend me. However, I want this kind of language to be useful in the context of a story. I don't see the usefulness here. So to me Susanna Moore's novel is more porn than literature. The lack of usefulness applies to the bloody ending of the novel, too. Besides, this ending could not have been logically more impossible: A total failure as far as point of view is concerned. Maybe I'm expecting too much of entertaining fiction, but the book was a waste of time, and yes, even a nuisance for me.
Is the review positive or negative?
