jdurney 's review for:
Red Sparrow
by Jason Matthews
I had a hard time with this review. Pros: twisted fun plot, dynamic female character, sexy spy intrigue. It reads like a fast-paced page turner, but with more character background. Cons: I absolutely LOATHED the way the writer described the main female character. It was the typical sort of flashy, overly sexual writing only ever done by men--focused on boob movement and slender necks and firm backsides. Ugh. And I was really annoyed by the excessive attempts to provide grand imagery during sex or other intense moments. Overall, I'd give it a 4 for plot, interesting characters, and a fun read, but a 2 for writing style, so I settled on a 3.
