I found myself fascinated and repulsed at the same time. The entire book is very Freudian. Sex is not merely an underlying piece, but rather, the reason the story exists. It is somewhat explicit (18+) and at times almost offensive. Yet without the details, it would read something like this: Man needs wife. Wife arrives. She travels. He doesn't. She returns. They live.
I'm not sure how I feel about this book. A man requests a wife. A woman answers his ad. There are details and back-stories that open as the story moves, but it was all very...adult.
I guess I enjoy stories that have less adult-content and are written for a younger audience. If you enjoy a story strictly for adults - language, story line, content - then you'll probably enjoy this book. However, it wasn't for me.

I love that adult books are not your thing. ;)
ReplyDeleteSorry for the heavy content- I think I'll steer clear of this one for now. I don't mind some heavy content but try to avoid explicit if I can.
Again- if you don't like adult explicit, you may not want to read Water for Elephants. Maybe I'll censor mine and bring it to you. I just read they are making a movie of it with Robert Pattinson. Not sure how I feel about that.
Kate and I are curious about the 13th Reality- I'll be waiting to hear what you think of that series!
OOOH! I'll find that one soon. I've gotten very cheap lately and don't want to buy books - Library surplus is great, though ($.50 or $1)!!
