Bad behaviors

When it was initially released, Bad Behavior caused a stir among critics, announcing Hull's entry into the literary scene and establishing her as one of the most astute, seductive, and audaciously humorous writers of modern literature. The author, Ms. Hull, writes with such authority and radar-perfect detail that she is able to make even the most extreme events appear real, according to Michiko Kakutani of The New York Times, who termed it "Pinteresque." the excellence of her debut is underscored by her reportorial truthfulness, which is unaffected by sentimentality or voyeuristic charm.
