A review by kinglee
Adore by Doris Lessing
2.0
You know when you read the summary of a book and think it should be rather interesting, but then as you start reading you are left utterly disappointed? That's Adore.
Roz and Lil are childhood friends who end up falling in love with each other's sons. It sounds like it should be interesting albeit gross and wrong on every level, right?
The writing throughout this was so dull that I didn't even get to know the characters beyond that they were sleeping with each other's sons. Everything was written so matter of fact that I felt like I was reading a catalog or something rather than a short story. I was left very disappointed for what could have been an interesting short story.
