The Necessary Hunger: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Worth Reading
Review: This is a good book... all through it you'll be wondering if (and hoping) something is going to happen between the two main characters. It's a real life depiction though.. and there aren't always happy endings...

Summary: A wonderful lesbian novel!
Review: This is the best lesbian novel I've read in a long time. Revoyr takes on many issues: racism, sexism, teenage issues, and of course, homosexuality. She manages to give adequate attention to all of the issues and write an engaging novel at the same time.

Summary: IT BLOWS
Review: What an incredibly disappointing, long-winded, and poorly written book. This is perhaps one of the more frustrating novels I've ever powered through. I perservered through poorly drawn characters, a redundant narrative, and Nancy's tortured romantic desires only to have the story wrap up in five (ok maybe six pages) in which I learn our main characters never realize their romantic love for each other and both go on to have uninspired, if not personally disappointing lives. An incredibly disheartening novel that's just not worth the mental energy. Save yourself. Don't waste your money or time.
