This was on the "unpopular list." Why, I ask? It is very depressing, but I absolutely loved reading this book. I did a paper on the symbolism of the oak tree in highschool. The end is a downer...but some of the moments are beauiful.
I went to buy "A Clockwork Orange" and ended up getting this one. My first taste of population control issue stuff. Scared the crap out of me to think about it in high school. Read this before 1984--that Big Brother type stuff is creeeeepy.
Dominic And Marisa -- Blazing A Trail Of Fiery Desire Across Three Continents! I've chatted about this book with a number of Goodreads friends ever since I first came on this site. But I feel compelled to share a very kinky secret I've never admitted to anyone before! You see, it's not the brutal rapes and the multiple scenes of degrading violence that Marisa endures that make this book so compulsively addicting to me. No, the thing I like about this book is that, in a weird way, it's almost hands down the most luxurious and languidly paced story I've ever read. What I mean is, when you read closely, Marisa is always being whisked off to one exotic locale after another, only somehow, she's always being pampered and waited on and allowed to sleep late and sort of just reclining in luxury in an almost dazed state as she waits for the next roller-coaster ride of sexual excitement to begin. Did you ever notice how many times in this book Marisa is "dazed" or "exhausted" while something big is happening? You can always count on her to be dozing when her carriage is abducted by rapists or when her sweetheart has just begged her to elope. And her default mode when it comes to getting some down time is to "sleep till noon." Is this girl channeling Scarlett O'Hara, or Homer Simpson, or Garfield? As each new chapter in her life begins, she's always sleeping till noon. Dumped in Paris among strangers? Sleeps till noon and awakens in a strange house. Kidnapped by a desert sheikh? Has fabulous butt sex with a man she barely knows? No problem, she gets to sleep into the afternoon the next day. Trapped in a steamy plantation mansion with a nasty stepmother who really hates her? Sure, it's upsetting, but she still manages to sleep until noon. This books should be called WICKED LUXURIOUS LIFESTYLES. And that's why I love it!
An "ok" book, it was a quick entertaining read. Written by an alcoholic, it just made me want to drink and throw my life away. I recommend this book for a rainy weekend with a bottle of wine and little to no hope of future existence.
