Typical Tryst,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gut Symmetries (Paperback)
The construction of the story blends myth and reality in unique way. However, inspite of this, the story is your typical affair between married man and woman (also married woman and woman), a subject that is common to hundreds of other works of fiction. In the end, a boring read.

Sumptuous,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gut Symmetries (Paperback)
Its lyrical, poetic and really all the marvelous fantastic writing one expect from Jeanette Winterson. THe narrative is captivating and her use of language is thought provoking and as always spot on.

entrancing,
By "chinaduzt" (NY, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gut Symmetries (Paperback)
For the first couple of pages, i was in awe of the simplicity that winterson used, and the reaction that i experienced. as i continued on, i realised that this is precisely why i love her style so much. unfortunately, gut symmetries is not a book for someone who wants a light read, or does not have the capacity to concertrate intensely. i suffer from the latter, and therefore had to reread this book three times in order to do it justice. it is an increaddibly well written book, second best only to the passion.
