I bought "Gabriel’s Woman" as a 2 for 1 deal when I got “The Lover”. My reading OCD did not help in this matter, so I was unable to stop myself from the mental torture of finishing this harrowing saga.
In the beginning I thought that it was funny – they way the author grabbed at straws, trying to make her book more…Gothic…more…pure…more scandalous…more intellectual...more…poetic…more…just more!
But it was only JUST pathetic.
The word repeat count in this read is monstrous. We can lie to ourselves and say that it was there for poetic purposes...Well, maybe that was the general idea, but the execution? Not really working for me!

….do you feel the urge to scream? I most certainly did.
Can you feel your sanity slipping away? I did. I do.
I am willing to admit - the author has ideas. But it all went sour any way.
Why?
Robin Schone did not want to be an author. She wanted to be an artist. To be memorable.
Problem? Being a virtuoso is not something you can make yourself be by sheer willpower. Let us face it – a lot of people can play the piano. But not everybody is freaking Beethoven!
This book had dialogues repeated in a constant loop…just for the sake of drama.
This book had inner and outer dialogues that made no sense as a whole.
This book had sentences that feel like they were inserted by mistake.
This book was long even thou nothing happened in it.
This book had mindless killers with no motives.
This book had the stupidest crime motivated plot EVER. And I mean EVER!
This book bored me to tears.
This book is only good for a bonfire.
And if this book was angling to be any more pretentious it would have challenged one of Tolkin's forest scenes – you know…the ones that last 50 pages with nothing happening in the end.
*gives up on ranting and goes off to get drunk*
