Title: An insult to the book reading public
Review: How does a book like this get selected for publication?The characters are unidimensional. The plot is so trite as to be inconsequential.The only apparent possible appeal is the very frank graphic descriptions of sex and various revolting aspects of life and hygeine in 19th century England. The prurient parts will probably appeal to some pubescent adolescents but have no allure for a mature adult.It is admirable to attempt to write a long Victorian novel in the present day if it is a good novel. Some years ago "The Quincunx" was a successful example. This one isn't.How a major publisher invests in trash like this and hypes it with numerous print and radio ads is frankly revolting.I only gave it a one star rating because there is no selection for zero.
