A review by michaelrohmann
Bret Easton Ellis and the Other Dogs by Lina Wolff

2.0

I'm a little disappointed. The story itself is well-written and I liked the characters, for the most part, but I feel a little cheated that the brothel with the stray dogs did not play a bigger part in the overall story (It is the first sentence in the blurb and after reading this I believe Wolff could have crafted an excellent novel exploring the dynamic between the female sex workers, the Johns, and the stray dogs and the power dynamic between all three factions). Honestly, that was the major selling point for me going into this book and it was only introduced in the last third of the book and only talked about for 3 pages. If I had gone in knowing the brothel was not going to be a huge plot point I would have enjoyed the story a lot more than I did.
