Query: Disappointing

The idea of a story about the Wicked Witch of the West was exciting, intriguing. I bought the book with anticipation of an original fantasy spinning from a familiar one. But from page one it seems this author needed a venue for his sexual appetite and has tortured this idea with his eroticism and cynicism. While I could have endured a satire (his themes were interesting), I was not interested in soft porn.His use of language is fantastic. The themes he introduces are definitely food for thought. If only he could have left the excessive innuendos and gratuitous sex scenes out, I think I would have really enjoyed this novel. As it is, I find myself slogging through because I never leave a book unfinished. If your curiousity compels you to read it, I recommend going to the library instead of wasting good money on it. Then, if you disagree with me, you can purchase it for your collection. It doesn't even begin to compare to Tolkein, BTW.
