Customer Reviews

Not very uplifting, but definately worth reading!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked this book up at a used book store. I had never read anything by this author and it is his first book so I was slightly apprehensive.I shouldn't have been. The author slowly brings you in to the world of these characters who are well developed and complex. The relationship between Janet and Lucien was almost excruciating for me to read because it was so real to me. The author perfectly describes how you can get involved with a person who you know you shouldn't. How you can convince yourself the person has changed or wasn't as bad as you thought and then the progression of how you then see reality, of who you are and who they are.Do not read it if you are depressed at all because this book will do nothing to lift your spirits but it will make you think.Also, this book is definately sexual. If that sort of thing offends you, do not read it.
