[EX Q]: Shallow and depressing . I got this book because I enjoy good literature and the reviews were decent. I know some people say this writer is gifted, but I don't see it. I thought it was a pretentious, depressing piece of crap. The characters were full of self-loathing and the "bright ending" didn't redeem anything, not the main character or the book
[EX A]: NEG

[EX Q]: Solid crime/mystery/suspense . Unlike the first Repairman Jack adventure, THE TOMB, which was horror/science fiction, this one is a straight mystery. Wilson does try his best to shamelessly tug at your heartstrings, tossing in some abandoned babies with AIDS, and also some child pornography. Add a modern-day Japanese samuri, some American mercenaries, some Arab villains, and you've got is a fast-paced novel that could be made into a pretty good movie
[EX A]: POS

[EX Q]: Why three plot lines? . Candace Bushnell wrote "Lipstick Jungle" from the perspective of three different narratives:  Wendy, the movie executive, Nico, the editor of chief of Bonfire magazine and Victory, the fashion designer.     At times it gets sort of confusing who is who and the reader is left with the feeling that the author had three good ideas for three new books and somehow put them all in one.  It is interesting however, to see Selden Rose, a character from "Trading Up", reappear in this novel, good to know that he has recovered from the failed marriage to Janey Wilcox.      All in all the relationship between the three main characters remains unclear throughout the entire book, they just seem to be acquainted with each other for no apparent reason, occasionally talk or lunch together and talk about their individual lives.
[EX A]:
NEG
