There are far too few gay-oriented serious novels so the tendency is to be grateful for what is rather than quibble about what should be, but this book has an ad hoc thrown-together plot that covers far too great a range of the improbable.

All in all this book was a disappointment that I nonetheless read through to end, hoping for more.
