Slow River indeed.

I loved how quick and easy this book read. There was a lot of things about Lore that I couldn't figure out until they actually said it. One thing that did anger me is that it seemed every woman in there was lesbian.....obviously one wrote but not every woman is one. With each book in the past, a man had wrote and woman were pretty much sex objects or poorly/very messed up chacters. But this one has woman being the strong creatures and men as weak. A lot of people don't like to think of woman being strong minded indivaduals. But when you think about it most woman in this world would choose a man only because it is convenitent and they don't get in the way...notice how I didn't say all, I do know some women so dependent on men that it isn't worth breath trying to talk them out of it. Anyways, I really thought the ending was twisted, most people assume that the father does all the molesting and whatnot, but here it was the mother, which also brings another point, that even though all the woman in this book were strong and powerful, they were also twisted. Which makes this book more like a role reversal, in other books the men would have done what the women did and the women what the men did. So in a case of role reversal this book was extremly well written.
However, I think that some of the men should have played a more important role in this book, like not being as stupid...........
Lore's father and her brother, are not very well rounded chacters, they are one sided and it is very poor, I would have loved to see more Lore and Tok, they could have been very close, but the family could have been to messed up for any family relationships to contuine further then they would have.
Spanner...didn't like her much, a simple mind for a very messed up person. I really did not like her in the end when she said there was no choices for her, she had to stay where is was and couldn't change it. Lore should have gotten rid of her a long ass time ago...
