David Martin (2) (1946–)

An entertaining book, though the story isn’t much, the writing is enjoyable.

I read this book many years ago, and came upon a used copy in my local thrift store. Wasn't as good as I remembered. The main character is really kind of a shit, and treats his love interest badly.

It was so very disturbing, well at parts that is. Very well written. It had me laughing out loud so many times, thank god I was home when reading it. You know when watching a movie or tv show and something very disturbing or violently gross is shown and you can't look you need to turn away, interested yes so you look between fingers? Well I actually had to stop and look away while reading a certain scene in this book because the image in my head was so vived. This book was greatly written

A growing up/growing old story narrated by a boy/man, focusing on his relationship with an older woman. It is an OK book but problems exist. The book alternates between narrative chapters & sections of a fantasy told by the woman; and the fantasy gets dull & labored, I thought; also I felt the older woman was not well realized.
