Negative Positive
Title: title says it all
Review: There must be 5,000 ways to describe the effluvia of London, and unfortunately for the reader, Clark attempts them all.She breaks up the crap with tepid, repetitive descriptions of self-mutilation and rollicking accounts of rat-fighting terriers.The only person in the book who might possibly, one day, crack a smile is the main character's wife, who is, of course, a cardboard-character imbecile.Yuck. Repulsive. And I deal with gore and feces everyday at work. I love the grim picture of the author on the book jacket. No doubt she's a barrel of laughs at a dinner party.
