I had to study this novel for my 3rd year course at University, so it did involve disecting it and finding meanings and such, but that aside I really enjoyed the book as a good read. The cover gives off the effect of a "holiday" type book, reading by the pool or sunbathing on a beach, and I think this is what the book is good for. Although addressing hot topic issues such as homosexuality and AIDS, the interpretations are fairly cliché, and it is one of those "happy everything tied together" type of endings, but as I said it is a good read, nothing more and nothing less. There are three seperate books within the novel, and within those books there are tw writing times, a past and the present. This really keeps you on your toes as you're reading it, and reminded me of a Dan Brown style of writing.
4/5: It is a tad cliché, but an enjoyable read!
