While the story is interesting and well written be very aware there is GRAPHIC, GRAPHIC male/male sex depicted throughout. If this makes you uncomfortable I do not recommend the book despite the well written story it contains. Evidently this is the author's predilection when writing and his stories are good but he really likes to pour in the graphic sex making the two of his books I have read (including this one) akin to medium to hard core porn in several places. In my opinion the graphic depictions are unneeded and really don't add anything to the story but the story is good enough to skim the prurience and finish the book. Unless you enjoy the graphic sexual descriptions or can ignore it and skim past them, better to read something else.
