Book Reviews of The Devil's Punchbowl: A Novel
Book Review: 2:30 am....
Summary: 2 Stars
It was 2:30am when I finally set this book down. For the last time. I haven't fought to finish a book for a long time. Last night I decided I was through fighting and wouldn't put it down until I was finished.
The book has violence against women. Heck, it's got violence against men and animals too.
But that's not the book's crime.
The book's crime is the constant author voice that overshadows every page, "Look at how cool this book is...the atmosphere...check out where I put in some touching parental moment....see how slick I am at inserting the violence....isn't this book special....aren't I talented?" This author needed to be edited down about 300 pages and asked to tighten up the plot.
Meandering self indulgence is beneath the Iles I've always known....sigh
