Title: I am underwhelmed
Review: Based on the ravishing reciews, I thought I was reading the new Great American Novel.Uh, no.It's certainly readable writing, and if you can stomach the sex, and the fact that the author uses S&M as her gimmick, than this book will probably fascinate you. It's a little like watching a train wreck at first; the first few instances can be seen as daring. After a while it gets old.Outside the sex there's little to recommend this book. I found the god imagery unimaginative and the character development lacking.I also want to know why Tor is marketing this as a debut, making everyone say, "WOW! What a wonderful first book!" when it's NOT.
Is the review positive or negative?
