The Golden Gate by Vikram Seth

2.0

Interesting concept, but I'm not sure if I enjoyed it. I got about half-way through before I gave up. The poetry gets a bit sing-songy, although the story and characters are somewhat compelling, if a bit stereotypical but I think that was the writer's intent. There are parts that get confusing though, like he was trying especially hard to be erudite in certain sections.
