Possibly one of the best books I've ever read. So beautifully written and gripping I literally retread all the "dreams" after I'd finished to take it all back in again.

Wretched. Former Warhol Factory girl, Woronov sets her novel Snake at least two decades too late. I kept forgetting I was reading about a heroine from my generation rather than my mother’s and when I remembered I often wondered why she didn’t just turn the calendar back twenty years. Cassandra was only tolerable as a little girl, while meant to be bewitching, the author fails to cast a spell for the reader. Meandering off onto a path of destruction, my sympathy for the character was never stirred. I just felt embarrassed for the author.

Deliciously written with a discombobulating story. The characters are quite memorable. One of the most enjoyable books I've read this year.
