Summary: Mediocre Minus
Review: Home has tried too hard to be all things in this novel, but finally comes across as juvenile, bleak and obviously trying to hit too many genres on Google.
The porn is 14 year old stuff and curiously unstimulating, the literary critique is spiteful and prissy.
I assume it's all a deliberate spoof, but it fails through lack of humour or any poetry.
I've given it an extra star for the writing mechanics.

Review: i wasnt that impressed---i admit, although the sex scenes are pretty explicit, the rest of the book went on forever- i agree with the first guy: home sounds like he wants to be a critic, because the humor of Alan's character got old really quick. home is over-indulgant and doesnt know how to keep things moderate (over does the sex, over does the book criticism, over does a lot of things); i think he tries too hard to make Anna apathetic and modern. however, if you take a million steps back and look at the story itself, its interesting--i just think home could have gone a better route of writing it.

Review: While Stewart Home does show strong writing ability I feel that it was not utilized very well with this story. It is generally difficult to write sex scenes very well and he does not do it very well. The narrator has no mind of her own and after a couple of chapters in the books becomes annoying. I think that Mr. Home secretly has a desire to be a book reviewer rather than an author. You might find the book worth reading if it is your desire to be annoying and pretentious.
