Living with Anita?

Jul 30, 2010 14:28

LKH's Bullet began with promise. A contract on Jean-Claude, Anita and Richard. An attempt on Richard's life. And then the plot slid into a meandering mire. The last third of the novel bored me ( Read more... )

You would have to use that katana early and make sure you dispose of the resulting bodies well.

Yeah, so DOES happen in Bullet anyways? I'm not curious enough to read, but I am curious enough to ask. :)

A year after Flirt, I guess.

Synopsis of Bullet gatitagitanilla August 2 2010, 03:49:24 UTC

It opens up with Anita going to a kid's school recital where the strippers from Guilty Pleasures were invited to do dance performances with the seniors. Richard comes back to Circcus of the damned after therapy willing to have sex with Asher. Theres some S&M, not sure if he actually has sex with Asher (i've seen it argued on here before) because it's vague sometimes, other times Anita is describing her own sex in the same room so I dont know whats going on behind her and I also rush past de sex scenes when they start to bore me. You have to understand theres about four chapters of them having sex so i get bored ( ... )

I do have to say the plot* did get to me after a while. I'm not much of a fan of commercial fiction because Person X does stuff for 500 pages doesn't excite me. Bullet felt a lot like it was wading into commercial territory.

*term used loosely.
