2.0 out of 5 stars
Not as compelling as her debut,
This review is from: The Scent of Your Breath (Paperback)
Though this book is well-written, it is nowhere near as exciting or passionate as "100 Strokes..." Fluctuates between the distant past, the recent past, and the present, and it is hard to decipher what is real and what is imagined. Melissa describes the collapse of her relationship with Claudio (the lover she had at the end of her first book) and her love affair with Thomas, a sensitive intellectual. Thomas and Melissa's relationship is doomed from the start, ironically partly because they feel such intense love and passion for each other. The plot is hard to follow, though eventually things start to come together...sort of. It is hard to follow the plot, as the novel often mirrors phantasmagoric stream of consciousness. Melissa's writing is still overtly sexual, self-absorbed, witty, and poetic, but the storyline is hard to follow and the book is, at times, plain boring.

I didn't enjoy this book,

This review is from: The Scent of Your Breath (Paperback)
This book is very difficult to follow and not an easy read even though it is a really short book. I don't know if the book was "lost in translation" or what but I didn't enjoy and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
