Helpful Score: 2

Funny, nasty, and fun. A page turner. I enjoyed the style, and the short chapters. Dolores, the main character, is hilarious but foul-mouthed. I mean, if the "c" word offends you, the "b," the "f" word -- you'll hate it, but actually it's very realistic; I know girls who talk just like this. This is very much a black comedy. Dolores and Serena are losing control of their lives so they promise to make a fetish-type movie ("female domination" movie) to get money, but what this does to their friendship and their lives is what this book is about -- that and the futility of "art." Vulgar book, but if you're unafraid of John Water's style filthiness (harking back to Pink Flamingos) -- then by all means read this novel! A+
