166. Lawrence Block - Getting Off


This is subtitled 'a novel of sex and violence' which pretty well sums it up. Trouble is that there isn’t a great deal else; there is not a lot of violence either.

I am not quite sure what the point of it is — I gather from Google that Block does write porn (presumably under a pseudonym?) but this just wasn’t particularly good.

The heroine resolves to kill every man who has had sex with her, and does so while turning into a lesbian. Her lover is a little concerned that she may follow the fate of the male lovers; she doesn’t.
