It was alright. Maybe I'm not big-brained enough to understand the subtleties and nuance of the book but I felt it was an incredibly bland writing style. Book was advertised to be "overtly queer" two side characters were mentioned to be gay. So what. Author despised xenophobia but writes xenophobic passages against Arabs and Jews for funsies.
