Book Reviews of The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman
Book Review: A dizzying journey: love, hate and the destruction of desire
Summary: 3 Stars
Usually, Carter's novels and stories enmesh the reader and make sense in their intricate descriptions of complicated relationships and turbulent emotions. This book got me completely lost. But read it anyway if you're a fan of Angela Carter --it makes you appreciate her wild imagination and sense of beauty.
