Tampa

This book is what I imagine 50 Shades of Gray to be like: dull, empty characters mixed with descriptions of vibrators and stiffened nipples. I read the book because of its supposed parallels to Nabokov's Lolita, but where Humbert Humbert is an enticingly poetic criminal, Celeste,Tampa's narrator/protagonist, is a one-note pervert. The problem I had with the book is not that Celeste is an unlikable narrator, but that she is an uninteresting narrator.
