i can't believe this got published, not because there's a lot of smut and therefore "shocking" and "scandalous" to the eyes of the 1920's era, but just because it's terribly and horribly boring AND disgusting; why would you as a publisher want people this piece of trash?? why?
"you found it appalling? it came out in 1928 what did you expect?"well too much apparently!
so much for wanting to read the book before watching the movie adaptation............

Regardless, it was a funny little book that affected me even though none of the characters were likable. And in fact, many of them felt unsettling. (Connie's dad??)
And I was expecting a different ending! But the ending we got is good.
