I have often wondered how the evaluation of "great literature" is made and by whom...this is one such work. I am on disc two of the audio version of the book and I have already begun to question the point of the novel. I am not a prude and consider myself an avid reader for well over 45 years. I have exactly the same feelings about the book as you have expressed here. Odd that critics find almost anything vulgar stimulating reading. Thank you for your comments.
