    <body><![CDATA[<br/>I find Houellebecq's writing to be extremely unpleasant on so many levels.  Normally, this would be tolerable if Houellebecq had command of his prose, but often he approaches his intended conceits in such a bland, repetitive fashion that it renders the reader hopelessly bored.  No, the explici...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40342909">more...</a>]]></body>

I found his writing more powerful for being contained to a novella length piece. He is completely fearless scattering scorn on an endless series of targets.
