Summary: B is not for me!
Review: This book is great. It brings up a lot of issues, particularly about the value of money, sex, and art. But 'B' just isn't for me. He is almost TOO perfect (which I suppose made him the perfect model for Christ!) He offers Monica everything she needs in order to produce great art: time, space, money, and sex. B is totally at her beck and call- and does he ever complain? No! Is he totally undemanding and selfless, without needs of his own? Yes! He is just too perfect. I think I'd prefer someone more human, someone who actually thought about themselves once in a while. While swimming naked, Monica thought, "Movement is utterly easy, you're working against nothing, what you're in wants you to move in it, with it, it offers no resistence, only help." That's B. And who wants that? Who wants to just 'float' through life? I'd rather have a good workout any day.
