The author takes a good plot and ruins it by appealing to a gay audience. As a heterosexual I hated this book. I squirmed during the author's description of sexual acts between gay men and the leading character's homosexual thoughts.No, I wouldn't have squirmed if there was a description of sex acts between men and women and if the leading character had heterosexual thoughts about the leading female character! But not being gay, I WAS JUST TURNED OFF BY THIS BOOK! If anything, reading the book may have made me homophobic! I hope not
