I'm working on finishing the book.. but the trailer for the movie looked really good so I'm going to watch it now.. right now. (bought it off amazon)
..then I'll blog about what I thought of it. I hate to ruin books but other than reading, watching indie films is another passion of mine.. so kill me for selling out. I'll finish the book!
For a first time author, this guy did pretty well.. the imagery and metaphors he uses are brilliant. A good amount of it is explicit, but nonetheless, unusually remarkable. The story is told through one of the five young men obsessed with the sisters. The part I am quoting is narrator, Tim, describing the homecoming dance he went to with his friends and the girls.
“They were flushed by the time they got to us, damp under the arms and giving off heat from their necklines. We held their sweaty palms, turning them under the mirrored ball. We lost them in the vastness of their dresses and found them again, squeezed the pulp of their bodies and inhaled the perfume of their exertion. A few of us grew brave enough to insert our legs between theirs and to press our agony against them. In the dresses the Lisbon girls looked identical again, as they flowed from hand to hand, smiling, saying thank you, thank you…”
