Book Review of The Inner Circle

The Inner Circle
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


I am a fan of Tom Boyle work and I appreciated his style in this book of addressing the once-taboo topic of Alfred Kinsey's research through the eyes of a young man who experiences his sexual and social awakening while working for Kinsey, but I could not get through this one. It sat by the nightstand as a reading in progress for more than a month, but I found myself eventually reading a few pages at a time before putting it down. I finally put it down for good just 2/3 of the way through the story. It is rare that I do not finish a book, but I just could not see the promise of the denouement justifying the effort to get through this one.
