No Night Is Too Long by Ruth Rendell
Reader Reviews 1 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Homosexuality, Obsession, Alienation, October 28, 2002 Reviewer: A reader from Maryland Those themes were hammered in with a complete lack of subtelty on every page. I bought this book because I'd never read a Ruth Rendell novel that wasn't at least a 4 stars, and most I've found to be 5 stars. But this one had me loathing to finish it. The narrator goes on and on about his homosexuality in such detail and frequency, that the this becomes the focus of the book, rather than merely something about him. He has meaningless then obsessive sexual relationships (which he also goes on about in detail), intimating throughout that he killed someone, but to tell the truth, the author made me feel so little for him or the people in his life, that it was difficult to see this through to the end. Disappointing.
