3.0

Very readable, the author has a great way with words. A very understated honesty in his writing. Such a unique book as well: gay travels through Syria. A few statements were uncomfortably orientalist, perhaps even racist, but the way he writes he can almost get a way with it. What a shame he was murdered the night he completed this book and we won't be able to read anything else by such a talent though.
