Egg Dancing by Liz Jensen

andintothetrees's review against another edition

3.0

I’m not really sure why I’m continuing on my read-every-book-by-Liz-Jensen quest – I suppose it’s because although I’ve realised all her books are essentially the same (zany plot, competent writing, “comedic” characters) and not anything I am going to elevate to the status of “instant favourite”, I know where I am with them. They are like having a baked tattie with cheese for dinner - unexciting but bound to be at least moderately satisfying (that’s the first and last metaphor in this review, honest.). This, her first novel, is the fifth Liz Jensen book I’ve read, and delivered what I was expecting.

Genetic manipulation, mental health, born-again Christians, not-to-be-trusted spouses and revenge. Reminded me of Fay Weldon.

This was weird and I really couldn't get into it. It was supposed to be full of black humor and zany situations but instead there were just a bunch of pregnant women and hospital conspiracies.
