review 1: Near the end of this book, Kate, the protagonist (of sorts), is talking with her adulterous lover about books they should write. He begins describing a book based on her life (which the reader has just read, how post-modern of Ms. Boren) and she claims that it would be a dull read. Turns out, Kate is right. By taking the minutiae of family life, mixing it with misogynistic thrill-less sex, adding a dash of senseless adultery and topping it all off with some random domestic violence, Borden has managed to do nothing more than bore me (and with a combination like that, you'd think the story might be at least mildly interesting). Kate's life is as pointless as the book that chronicles it.
review 2: I liked this book simply because it is contemporary adult fiction... more and deals with the spicy things I like such as infidelity and marriage.The only thing I don't understand is why the book is called Games to Play After Dark, and why, in the synopsis, it talks about how the things Kate and Colin do after dark are 'far from routine.' I felt that there was nothing abnormal or extraordinary about what they did. What did they do other than have sex, argue, and/or go out to diner every once in a while? What is so out-of-the-ordinary about that? Especially for a married couple.I keep thinking I might have missed something throughout reading the book, and I tell myself that maybe I will understand it better if I were to give the story another read.Nonetheless, I'm not sure it is worthy of being a classic like some think but I did like it for what it was. less
