Negative Positive
Title: shallow
Review: Quan takes an interesting predicament (that of a married call girl whose husband is eager for a baby) and churns out 300 pages of shallow nothing. Nancy Chan flits from one scene to the next, from hotel room sex to her shrink's couch to vanilla pillow talk. The point of it all is elusive. Are we supposed to find her plucky and endearing, or deceptive and shocking? She makes her husband seem so ridiculously naive you wonder how he finds his way home each night. This book did not meet its potential.
