Review: Sex and Death in the American Novel by Sarah Martinez

Sex and Death in the American Novel by Sarah Martinez
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


What were the main themes of the book? I almost want to state, sex, drug and rock ‘n roll, but that would not fit here. Sex is a small part of this book, drugs and rock ‘n roll are not involved. It is almost like a great literary debate. To this reader the main theme is the characters finding themselves. Looking in the wrong places and wondering about what they found.

Describe 2 different settings or locations. Vivi up on stage dancing. Really liked the author’s description.

Were you able to connect with the main character and why? Vivianna was very easy to connect with. She thought she was a great disappointment to her parents but she actually held their respect.

Disclosure: I received a review copy of this book from the author.
