VLVL (13) - Cesare Lombroso

[David Morris]

I see discussion of VL like this as proof of the book's failure as
viable fiction:  desperate attempts to imbue the characters with
understandable motives where none are apparent in the text.

No need to respond.  I'm voiced this criticism of VL before.  Carry
on, and I'll continue to try avoiding VLVL posts.
