Query: Sophomoric Treatment of Mother/Son Relationship...

Sorry, but I have to agree with many of the other reviewers. While I do not agree that this tale borders on perversion (as it is metaphorical rather than literal), the author's treatment of the maternal bond is so lacking in subtlety and deftness that it effectively nullifies any sentimentality which would be otherwise evoked. In sum, a sweet idea eclipsed by sophomoric execution.
