THE CRIMSON PETAL AND THE WHITE is a crude narrative, to say the least, with an inherently arrogant, rambling style that I found extremely disengaging.
I never developed much interest in William or Sugar, both contrasting themes in some of the most crass descriptions imaginable!
Yuck.
You really feel you need a bath after reading some of these scenes. They're just...blech. I had to skim to reach the end and closed this 900-page doorstopper feeling I wish I'd spent the time reading something else.
1/5 stars. I can't recommend it. Definitely not for everyone.
