Not as bad as people say..
I've just finished this book for my senior seminar class at a private college and, let me tell you, if it were 'sex scene after sex scene' I don't think we would be reading it.
The novel is broken into sections and each section sheds new light on the characters involved, their struggles, anxieties, and strife. I personally feel that this book, though I would never have bought it if I hadn't needed it for class, was a great read. The first section was a little slow paced, but the novel really picks up after that.
Bloom is really a brilliant author and really has a way with character creation.
Give it a chance. You won't be disappointed.

Disgusting
The first pages of this book are sex scene after sex story after sex scene. If you enjoy shallow, erotic literature, this is the book for you. But I hope you are not that kind of reader...
