Query: Not worth 3 cents

This book is dull, dull, dull, and too long for its narrative. It would have been better as a short story. I like to be titillated just as much as the next person, but this story just didn't do it for me. The prose is drab and the characters have little to redeem them. They're supposed to come across as soulful and tortured, but instead they're flat as cardboard. I couldn't wait for it to end.
