A review by m0rozovas
Merrick by Anne Rice

4.0

I have mixed feelings about this book, mostly because of the characterization of 14-year-old Merrick as some kind of seductress of 50-year-old David. I get that their relationship develops from that. But the sole acknowledgement of that sexual attraction on David's part was disgusting, as well as the knowledge that David likes them "young". In addition, the constant mention of Merrick's breasts at the most random times was unnerving to the least. I hope there are no more books narrated by David-a character I used to like-, because I haven't enjoyed at all being in his mind.
