    "Underserving of the Booker Prize"

    Not only is the story negative and depressing, but every sentence is itself negative and depressing. I can't figure out how this book won the Booker Prize. It is no Coetzee, that's for sure.

    Story
    "Boring"

    This book had nothng to it. You waited and waited for something to happen and nothing ever did. there is too much fowl language and it degrades the book even more. It seemed that the author had too much time on her hands.

    Story
    "Drags on, slow, there's no point"

    Very, very slow story. It just drags on and on and on.................
    There's no point to the story. No real defined plot.
