" The prose was gorgeous, and the flashback style was very emotional, but it was almost a little too much for me at times. I loved the setting and the way he so richly wove the culture of the time into the story, as well as his talent for putting feelings into words, but at times it became somewhat pointless. The storyline could be clear and easy to follow, or it could be a jumble of dancing and sex and random memories that could make your head hurt a litle if you really tried to understand it. Despite that, I'll be picking up another book by the author to see what his other stuff is like- it's definitely a book that makes you think. "
