Title: Lousy Excuse for a Book
Review: I reread the book recently for an essay I have to write and I think the novel has no whatsoever merit to it at all. Johann Lee's youth is no excuse for his lack of literary talent. Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein at the age of 18.The coming-of-age novel is an exercise of his vindication of what he has done and not done: it plays on sexual stereotypes and yet at the same time, it tries to exult the author's status to the pedestal.However, this is slightly better than Edmund Wee's The Narcissist, another Singaporean account of his gay life.
