Review: A Little Harsh, A Lot BLAH
Rating: 3 out of 5

John and his girlfriend Marge have an argument because he suggests they have anal sex.  Two day after she's stormed out of his life, he meets a woman with Elizabeth Taylor eyes.  Eventually, the evening ends with the two at his apartment, doing what Marge didn't want to do.  In the light of day, John will face the repercussions.This is a short story (maybe a 20 minute read), so I didn't expect a great deal of character development.  Unfortunately, I disliked what little bit of character was developed.  John cheats and lies.  Marge has a very strange, very harsh way of making her point.  I guess they sort of deserved each other.The author writes well enough, so reading the story isn't painful.  However, despite the emotional nature of several events in the story, you never feel this emotion in the story.  You don't really feel John's sadness, lust, or disgust... you never feel Marge's anger, disapproval or sense of vindication.  It's pretty BLAH through the whole story.  I don't think I'd actively seek other works by this author.  Using Amazon's rating scale, it was OK (3 stars).
