Title: A boring and pretentious novel
Product review: This novel has an interesting premise in the gay narrator's meeting a handsome young Frenchman (married) at a gym and unexpectedly falling in love with him. However, the novel soon becomes another opportunity for the author to parade his knowledge of French culture and to look down his nose at Americans. There isn't much story here, and neither of the main characters is likable at all.
