Title: Just throwing another 1-star into the mix
Review: Why on earth does anyone think this is good writing? There are enough painstakingly wrought similes and metaphors here to serve at least five novels. They are sometimes good, but for one slim volume, it's WAY too much. The reader is hard pressed to believe that anyone, no matter how frustratedly poetic, would reassess his/her life in this style. More largely, the characters and "plot" lacked life, the sex and sleaze failed to deliver their intended dose of shocking realism. Sigh, yawn. Didn't bother to finish it.
