Didion's prose is like poetry...chapter 1 is the best part, I thought. This is the 2nd book by Didion I've read (started with The Year of Magical Thinking, also highly reccommended) and she is already one of my favorite authors.

I really enjoyed this book... It's definitely NOT upbeat though.

Spare and difficult as always but Didion captures darkness better than just about anyone. Lost a half-star because the introduction in this edition contains spoilers. Why would you do this?!

Also there is liberal use of the word "f*ggot"-I know in the mindset of the time it's considered appropriate usage but was uncomfortable to read in 2014. Just a warning about that.
