Really wish I could have liked Thrust, but it just didn't do it for me. From her writing, I get the sense that Lidia Yuknavitch is the sort of person whose head I'd love to spend some time in; it takes a great deal of intellect and vision to execute something like Thrust. I think I would have enjoyed it when I was younger, maybe, and I can see myself recommending it to some friends, but I'm at an emotional place right now where Yuknavitch's writing style was too flowery for me, and her take-home messages were preaching to the choir rather than altering or expanding my perspective.
