Query: Very disappointing

I was very disappointed in this book. I had been very intrigued by the pre-publication description of the plot and was actually looking forward to reading it. In my opinion, it is a total flop.The only character that was somewhat developed in the story was Claude, all the other characters were completely flat. I found the language of the book very much artificially constructed, as if someone was trying a bit too hard to come up with good metaphors. Part of the story line was just way over the top, at times, Claude seemed to be more of a stalker than a desparate lover.A scene which made me laugh out loud because it was so grotesque, was when one of the characters jumped into the grave to embrace the casket at a funderal. I am sure this scene was supposed to have the opposite effect and be very dramatic...Sorry, but I can absolutely not recommend this book.
