Written about the time of Lady Chatterley's Lover, this makes Lawrence's novel seem as if it were a pre-teen chapter book. Replete with the "C-word" and a great deal more graphic, it is also an extremely bitter and angry work.
This ego-centric invective has all the trash you can hope for: senseless violence, rape, murder, gang war, animal cruelty. Did I leave anything out? If your tummy is a tad queasy take a whack at this one; you'll feel real well after a good heave. This is little more than a big pile of dung; enough to satiate the most ardent sophist.
