I read IN THE CUT when it first came out years ago, and it was touted as an erotic mystery or something like that.<BR/><BR/>I finished the thing but I thought it was terrible! Especially the ending--here's a spoiler, so don't read if you don't want to know what happened.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>spoiler<BR/>~~~~~~~<BR/>In the book, the main character, who is TELLING THE STORY, is murdered at the end, while it's in her point of view. <BR/><BR/>And she describes getting her nipples cut off and the blood pouring out of her and her own death. Good grief!<BR/>~~~~~~<BR/>end of spoiler<BR/><BR/><BR/>I must say, though, that I might want to see the movie JUST so I could see Mark Ruffalo...if indeed there is frontal nudity. :-D<BR/><BR/>But stay farrrrr away from the book.

His partner takes her to a remote area to "get something" and while there, she realizes that the PARTNER is the murderer. She struggles with him and manages to kill him. Then, she returns to her apartment and curls up in the lover's arms for comfort.

The book is pretty graphic; it would be hard to do that story with any dignity, but still . . . just not necessary, in my mind. <BR/><BR/>Lotus,<BR/><BR/>I love that cover, too; "vibrant" is the perfect word and it represents Amy's new, self-confident and self-sufficient life well. The story was a nice upper for me; I hope you like it. :)<BR/><BR/>Crocs must be awfully comfy if medical professionals are wearing them. Dr. Scholl's and Clarks are my favorite comfort shoes, when I'm not dressed down and wearing athletic shoes. They have some cute styles, these days. Still, I wouldn't look down on anyone who wore Crocs to a job that involved standing all day!<BR/><BR/>Krista,<BR/><BR/>Me, too. I have a pair of Clarks sandals that are cute and so comfy that I can walk around in them all day and not even notice my feet. :)<BR/><BR/>Skip <I>In the Cut</I>. The writing is good, but the story is just to icky. I'm still reading Joe Hill's short stories. I've been wondering about his novel because he knows how to freak you out, but he can write some good sci-fi/paranormal, too. Not all the stories in <I>20th-Century Ghosts</I> are terrifying. I'd rather he stuck with ghosts and unplugged phones that ring!!!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-70751756849999430922007-04-04T09:50:00.000-05:002007-04-04T09:50:00.000-05:00I will not get crocs but they even have charms for...I will not get crocs but they even have charms for them which I find stupid.
