Przyznam, iż mam ogromny problem z tą książką. A raczej z oceną tej pozycji. Nie wiem nawet, od której strony mam ją ugryźć. Więc zacznę od początku. Zabrałam się za czytanie bez żadnego oczekiwania. Nie liczyłam ani na dobrą, ani na złą pozycję. Po prostu uznałam, że ją szybko przeczytam i zobaczę,...
"Mantissa" means essentially an unnecessary verbal addendum. Mildly amusing, mildly erotic, mildly neurotic. It mostly seems like the work of a dirty old man treading water, mildly undecided between putting sex or love, or some combination of the two, at the sole apex of life, while suspecting those...

This was fun. A twisted fun. I mean this book is fucked up, in a vintage pulp fiction way. The writing was actually decent, hence the 4 star rating. Also the ending was fucked up, I will say one thing there is no happy ending, but life doesn't always have a happy ending especially in these circumsta...
