Shockingly tedious
3 étoiles
Shockingly unsexy for a book banned for pornography until 1960. The sex bits are so incredibly not sexy, I wonder whether the “porn” was simply an excuse to ban a book full of frank language, ideas about people, and class.
It’s full of unpleasant people being unpleasant, sexist, classist, and most damningly, tediously dull. There’s no lust, no love, and not even much, if any, like displayed between anyone.
Don’t read looking for a love story or porn. Do read for endless (usually wrong-headed) rants. Also, the words bowels and womb are alarmingly overused.
