Next to "A Little Life," "Sisters" is the second worst book I have ever read. The novel is characterized by meaningless violence and death, but death robbed of either consequences or, more importantly, tragedy. One cannot help but wonder, what was Ms. Cheney thinking?
Simply put, this book is hyped because its material may harm the political ambitions of its author and her family, and yes it does have many raunchy scenes in it. But is it such a good work? Does it deserve the hype? Not at all. It's at best a dime a dozen romance novel that happens to feature lesbianism, and the comedy lies in the irony of its author. If you are reading this book out of curiosity, don't. There are better books out there.
wtff. parts of this were weirdly feminist, but it was a freaking hot mess that became convoluted, confusing, and crazy as hell with incest, murder, lesbianism, and sexual assault. I read it for the LOLs but it ended up being more wtf am I reading here, this is just so bizarre.
