Title: Hey - It's Just a Noir Thriller
Review: I got this book because Viktor Pelevin recommended it, and I immensely enjoyed it. The mystery/noir genre isn't exactly supposed to be a pean of morality (i.e. "political correctness"), but it is supposed to be entertaining - and some readers have not found this book entertaining, and I can see why. I think that the perceptive look at east/west social and political attitudes, as well as the transgender role in the book, make up for the difficiencies in the characterization of the female FBI agent, but if I was a female reader (or very sensitive to female gender portrayals) I might feel differently. To be brutally honest, some of the female characterizations really were flat, something I saw but ignored for the sake of what I consider the books many good points.
