" The writing is great: fluent, tons of sharp metaphors rolling off the page, and tremendously insightful. The story can't fail to engage curiosity, given that it explores sexual mores through the experiences of a hard-up writer who is gifted the chance to participate in an up-market sex tour. But the constant self reflection that floods the book begins to feel a bit self indulgent and I found myself wondering at times if this was more a study of neurosis than an investigation of male libido. The twists and turns of the story start to strain credulity too, as one unexpected event after another impacts the 'tour' group - and the ending was a real stretch, almost feeling like Spencer had decided he had to get the damn thing finished and off to the publisher. Good, highly readable, but not great. "
