Prudence by David Treuer

3.0

I don't even know how to articulate what I didn't like about this book. It could be that almost every character was completely unsympathetic, to varying degrees. It could be that the story didn't seem to flow very well. The ending was too abrupt, and the very last line didn't ring true to me -- it sounded like the closing line of a B(minus) movie. Several different things are going on in the book, and it's not at all clear how they are supposed to be related, even thematically, but the author definitely wants to you to feel that it is All Connected. It could be the multiple detailed descriptions of ejaculations (seriously).

I'm giving it three stars instead of two, though, because one chapter -- the one told from the perspective of Mary -- was fantastic.
