In my opinion this was not one of Zimler's best books. I generally enjoy his books and am interested from the beginning but this one was a real sleeper for the first chapter or so. In fact, had I not long ago decided to never give up on a book until I finished the second chapter, I would have never finished this one. All in all, I would not waste a credit on it again and that is a real shame since Zimler has never let me down before. When it finally gets to the point, the entire book is one man's journey into discovering he is androgynous after droning on and on about his destroyed marriage due to his constant womanizing...evidently searching for what is missing from his life which was discovering androgyny. It gets one star just because Zimler CAN TELL a story. The problem is this one had no real premise on which to build.
