In the last minutes of Sabrina I find myself thinking of another sort of love story. I have been listening to Girl on the Train on my rides to and from work, marveling at the peculiar characters. I feel the need to discuss the book, to talk about what was created and where I feel it went wrong.
The characters in the book are limited to two distinct categories: Predator and Prey. All of the women in the text are predatory and all of the men are prey animals. This is a simplistic break down of the book, but it is there writ plain on every page. The problem with all of this is that I am a male reader and this book is written for females. I truly believe it has the same sort of appeal as E.L. James’ sexual fantasy version of Twilight. I feel this version is far more reserved and much better written. However, it does have the same feel.
This book is a fantasy about a lost woman who seeks comfort after being pushed aside by those in her life who matter. She’ll stop at nothing to get it.
Some Thoughts:
- It would be dope to have a brain hotspot. Perhaps it will wind itself into my next grand tale
