Title: Flashes of cleverness not enough to sustain the story.
Product review: Initial flashes of cleverness and artful story-telling rocket you through the first half of the book. From then on, plot and story fizzle out like a guttering candle--and so does the reader's desire to continue on. It's almost as if Rechy is frosting a cake and discovers he doesn't have quite enough frosting for the whole; but instead of making more frosting, he chooses to make do by thinning out what he already has applied. Pity!
