Believe me, I can easily understand all the negative reactions to this book but I can't help but find it absolutely fascinating.In fact, since putting the book down, I've given myself a while to think about it and, the more I do, the more I find myself acknowledging how clever and brilliant it is. A...

Rating: 2.5 StarsTAMPA isn't the type of novel you can necessarily enjoy reading, but there is no denying that it accomplishes what it sets out to do - reveal the mindset of a female sex offender and pedophile. It's uncomfortable to read and more than a little creepy on many occasions, but I found i...

No rating. Why? I couldn't read this. And I couldn't even try. So to rate it would be unfair.When I requested this book I honestly thought I could handle it.I got 17% of the way through before finally admitting to myself that it was too much for me. I never realised exactly how I felt about the subj...

Initial reaction: I need to meditate over the rating for this a night, but this is probably going to be an expanded review. I think the execution of this novel was the main thing that bothered me. The audio narrator was very good for what its worth.Full review:It's difficult for me to begin this ...

It mostly consists of lots of disturbing sex scenes with a minor designed to shock readers, and a bland, cartoonish and underdeveloped main character(s). I guess this is supposed to be a character study, but it’s hard to do that when you’re too busy writing sex scenes instead of developing the chara...

I'm giving Tampa such a low rating not because it was disgusting but because it was so disappointing. Believe it or not, I liked the idea of this book. It was the way the plot played out that irked me and in the end, I'm afraid it did not have the intended effect on me. Tampa started off brilliant...
