The Four Fingers of Death by Rick Moody
This may or may not have spoilers.. I only got to 140-150 of 700 plus pages.
I don't think it's fair for me to give this book a rating. Because I didn't finish it is one reason, but another is the reason for the first reason. I couldn't get past the super unexpected and equally explicit gay sex scene. It came out of nowhere! Some dudes traveling in space for three months, on their mission to colonize Mars, the usual stuff, then BAM. Banging happens. And the other dude has a rather large space arm (narrator's words, not mine. Not ever mine.), and this point was very firmly driven home. So, I couldn't take the 5th or so instance of this rather revealing and frightening metaphor. I'm sorry, book. I'll miss the bloody mess that a four-fingered hand will make across the nation. And the pretty entertaining picture of our near future. But please. Don't ever assault me with this content again..
