No wonder this novel won the Booker in 2204! Fabulous, elegant, can't say enough about the style and content.

A good story overall. However, I personally felt this book was roughly 100-200 pages too long. Without the filler I would have been VERY happy with this book.

Very well written, which helps because the subject of homosexuality in England in the 80's and the of the aids epidemic does not make for happy reading. A taste of British upper class, nouveaux riches, and polliticians.

I tried to read this book but I couldn't get into it. The characters didn't allow me to sink my teeth into them in the first few chapters and I just petered out. perhaps another try at a later time would be an idea
