2.0 out of 5 stars Surely a winner with feminists, September 11, 2008
This review is from: Pubis Angelical (Paperback)
A novel which is critcal of the objectification of females and their subjugation at the hands of men but a novel which offers no alternative depiction. The women in the novel have little identity other than as objects and, for the most part, accept this role with token resistance. The most fleshed out (and yet singularly vapid character) in the novel lies helpless in hospital and is, even at death's door, subject to the will of the man/men in her life.

Half-baked really.

Re other reviews: yes, at the end of the day, the novel is really not worth the effort.
