Review: Despair

I couldn't get halfway through this, I am sorry to say, after reading some wonderful reviews about it. I read a LOT and encounter plenty of cuss words, but the language was obscene. Just plain unbearable.  Plus the book was depressing in locale, characters and plot. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone and can't understand why it had favorable reviews. Perhaps it is a matter of taste since I noticed that other readers found humor in it, whereas I only felt despair. I already know it is unfair to offer a review if one has only read half of a book, so don't do the comments about that. Somehow I feel heroic in warning other readers away from this and the half-read/unfair type comments will be outweighed by my sense of obligation to tell other fair readers to find something else to read.
