Charlie M. (bookaddicted) - , reviewed on 6/7/2007 + 131 more book reviews

Faber's "Crimson Petal and the White" was a wonderful book. Unfortunately, this - his first novel - is just plain awful. 300+ pages and a third of the way through you still have no idea what is going on. I ended up skimming through just to find out what the big "secret" was and then stopped reading. I suppose the only reason to read this book is to see how he was able to progress as a writer. Even fans of tv's "The Twilight Zone" wouldn't like this one.
