Title: Lame and Pretentious
Review: Natacha Merritt unfortunately relied on two assumptions to carry this book: 1. That using a digital camera would make her pornography more relevant to the computer generation, and 2. That her self-absorbed preoccupation with her body would hold people's attention for 160 pages. She was wrong on both accounts. Digital pornography is no more appealing than analog pornography, and no one can look at Ms. Merritt's body for more than fifteen pages max without becoming bored speechless. The end result of Ms. Merritt's efforts is a lame and pretentious collection of photographs that only her mother would be interested in. After skimming the first few pages, the novelty of having someone's "digital diary" in your hands will have lost its appeal, and you'll have wished that you had spent your (...) elsewhere.
