The book is getting better

I like how, finally, the women are becoming more dimensional, like real people

This is beginning to get rediculous. Women do not behave this way in real life, it's just ego porn, and it's gross. NOBODY openly propositions someone at a funeral for their own relative, especially when that person is the priest. "Women are either nasty whores or unfuckable matrons, and I'm going to fix it all with jesus." Gross.

Father Frank is a wonderfully funny character, but the author writes him as if he's never seen a woman anywhere in his life, ever. In fact, I'm not too keen on the way women are written about, anywhere, in here. Things might get nasty from a critical feminist viewpoint; the author is quite ready to make every woman seem either patronizing and stupid or a bimbo attempting to be a seductress. Yikes.
