I seem to be in a minority: I found this book very convincing,
though,
for the obvious reasons that have been already pointed out,
reading it
cannot really be described as a pleasure. Raymond's writing is
tough,
unrelenting, and completely cold. This cold shower left me
exhausted but
satisfied. The novel hangs together marvellously. I encourage
those who
gave up to finish it - there is a curious cumulative effect to
it. It's
a solid piece of work.
Warning: Advice has alawys been cheap.
