A review by cwg
The Catch Trap by Marion Zimmer Bradley

Did not finish book.

I enjoyed reading this book. It's relatively slow in terms of pacing, but I didn't mind it, as it enabled me to gain a better understanding of the story's cast of characters. Until I decided to drop it, I was quite intrigued by Mario's trapeze struggles, as well as the Santelli's family conflict.

Unfortunately, I decided to drop this novel, in part due to details surrounding Bradley

(apparently Bradley's daughter accused her of sexual abuse)

but also encountering some key details while reading.

I ended up skimming through the rest of the book, and I'm not quite sure how to feel about Mario Santelli's psychological conflict in regards to his advances towards Tommy Zane, no matter how much the latter encourages them. It's a bit uncomfortable to read, and with the aforementioned biographical information in mind, well...I wish I hadn't read it.

 

Perhaps I may pick this novel up some day, because I did have a good time while reading it. That might be a while, however, until I do.
