reevetaa_'s review against another edition

The writing was too straightforward and hard to immerse, and the usage of the f word for intimate scenes is ridiculous.

This is a very interesting book. Not particularly in the plot but of the protagonists character. She would be characterized as "unlikeable" in that she defines herself as a psychopath, has psychopathic behaviour and murders (and sometimes eats) people. I think to the reader though she would be unlikable because she is a snob, patronising to the reader and any other character she interacts with. She's crass and deliberately crude but only in a way that displays her superiority in intellect, wealth and class. Dorothy makes the reader feel small, poor and uneducated and has no qualms about doing so. I like her and despite some of the writing choices (a lot of long sentences that are basically lists), I liked this book too.

A fascinating foray into the mind of a twisted, fabulous woman. This was so dark, yet so deliciously written. A triumph.

I found this book to be 100% out of the ordinary read for books. It is more like the memoir of a woman who lives by the prodding of her carnal appetite. I had to keep Google nearby as I spent half the time researching words and foods. The rest of the time I didn't bother to do it but I just appreciated the book for the lexical delicacy it is.
