Title: Outstanding novel with a few shortcomings
Review: This is a great read, the writing itself is fantastic, Faber's style alone kept the pages turning, particularly since I barely have the patience for 500+ page novels. The only real complaint that I do have--and the reason for the 4 instead of 5 stars--is the ending; I like others felt cheated after having read the minute details of these characters' daily lives through 800 pages only to be left hanging so abruptly--never realizing the fates of the three primary characters: Sugar, Sophie, and William. It was somewhat anti-climactic but overall I was most thoroughly impressed with the writing style and the close attention paid to detail; you can't walk away without sensing or even knowing that Faber strove for nothing short of perfection in every paragraph, sentence, and word between the covers of The Crimson Petal and the White.If this were a movie a sequel would be expected, I can only hope for the same here.
