2.0 out of 5 stars
Ribald tale too coarse for my taste..,
This review is from: Cabin road (Hardcover)
"Cabin Road" is a certain type of bawdy tale that is no doubt widely produced and with a long tradition. And to his credit, John Faulker did a good job in the telling - the characterizations are appropriately written a bit over the top, the situations are farcical to the point of near impossibility, and the characters are oddly loveable goofs in spite of some very ugly traits and flaws. Having said all of that, I couldn't get past the coarseness of the content to get at the decent bit of writing on display. From that perspective, then, I'd have to give it only two stars. If interested in John Faulkner, try "Dollar Cotton" instead - a harsh book with a lot of distasteful elements, but set out in a serious way that makes the ugly a point of contemplation rather than of pitiable smirks.
