kxiong5 's review for:

The Golden Gate by Vikram Seth
5.0

You'd think a book written entirely in verse would be the most pretentious literature on the planet.
You would be proven entirely wrong.
This book is unique in how clever and detailed the writing is, and how a novel so short can be so emotionally compelling. A lot of the book's main themes really resonate in ways I've never seen in other books. In the end, I guess it's the sheer honesty of this writing that made me love it.
