Query: The Crimson Petal and The White

First of all, despite it's multi-layered entendre--flowers, colors, etc.--the title is terrible.That said, the book is a tremendous disappointment. It's promising start, with it's perspective and intricate sensory detail, quickly vanishes. We are left with endless repetition; boring, and often repulsive, sexual scenes; and a host of characters who are cliches.This is a long, long book. It has no ending. It just stops. The editing is atrocious (Was there any editing?)The idea that the author has set us up for a sequel is enough to make one relinquish one's lunch in the most Faberesque manner.
