Victoria (YSB) - reviewed on 1/11/2010 + 636 more book reviews

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this book. For a very short novel (not even 250 pages long), it was surprisingly powerful. The narrator, however, was not terribly likable... but not completely hate-able either. I think more than anything what really took me by surprise was the abundance of sex and violence. Not to mention all of the poor dogs... It was a sad and horrifying book, and still very interesting. It made me more curious about South Africa as a setting, too.
