Helpful Score: 1

After having read Monkeys and Evening, I looked forward to reading another Minot book. This one, however, was sadly lacking at many levels. Although a slender book, it is totally based on thoughts and reflections of two people during one sex act. My goodness, I can't imagine any sexual encounter lasting so long as to reflect ad nauseum! I felt no real depth of emotion from either character, and it amounted to little more than painful drivel. I do not recommend this book, although other offers by Minot are very well written. Proof that the best authors can still miss the mark at times.
