5.0 out of 5 stars Bizarre But Brilliant!, Jul 27 2001
By Lauryn Angel-cann (Frisco, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the most outrageous Angela Carter novel I've read. Just when you begin to settle into one bizarre plot, Carter turns everything upside down and takes the story down a completely different avenue. She still manages, however, to bring all of her seemingly disparate plot elements together at the novel's satisfying close.

Evelyn's transformation from loathesome creep into a protagonist the reader actually cares about is a riotous roller-coaster ride, punctuated by Carter's beautiful prose and embellished by her perverse sense of humor. As always with Angela Carter, a satisfying, thought-provoking read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Witty, Subversive Study of Gender..., Jan 30 2000
By A Customer
In this, one of Carter's boldest and most subversive novels, the protagonist undergoes an excrutiating exercise in de-masculinization. As a female, he realizes that women truly are "made" into nurturers, into mothers, into objects of sexual desire. Carter's prose is richly--chillingly--beautiful, as she describes one man's confusing transformation from being the "hunter" into the "hunted." Quite possibly Angela Carter's finest work--as well as one of the most provocative studies of gender construction in the Western world.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst book ever., Mar 3 2000
By A Customer
Had to read this book for a lit class. Unless you like really strange hard to read pointless liturature, I would strongly recommend taking a beating instead of reading this book.
