Cemetery Road by Greg Iles
2.0
So many things to say about this book. It was really a 4 to 5 star story. So what took it all the way down to 2 stars? And almost a 1.
-this read a lot like the Great Gatsby. A good story with completely vile and unlikeable characters. The bad guys are scum, but the “good guys” come across as dirtbags as well.
-I don’t love books that have infidelity, and the central theme of this book surrounds infidelity. From chapter 2 maybe all the way to the end, it’s there.
- some books come across like this: the author has some serious repressed sexual fantasies, and they don’t get it in their real life so they have to write a book to satisfy their weird horny desires. This was that book.
- There is a certain amount of discussion on pubic hair that I want in a book. And that amount is zero. This book SHATTERS that number, placing it at the forefront. Think I’m exaggerating? There is a whole subplot around it!
