I don't review books poorly very often, but I just... did not enjoy this one. I don't know if it's bad or anything, I just don't like it. 
The language is interesting and compelling. It's got quotes worth writing down for days. 

I love me some tragic gays, but the relationship between these guys is more distressing than compelling at any given point. We spend a lot of time hearing about how they love each other, but not a lot of time seeing why they're lovable.

I finished it, but mostly out of determination and curiosity rather than wanting to read it.
