Title: Misfortunate
Review: The concept for this book was terrific... the execution, ....not so great. It started well...sexually confused English nobility finds abandoned baby and, although the baby is clearly a boy, he has reasons for raising the child as a girl. As the child ages, his gender becomes more obvious and he becomes more confused. Confused is the optimum word. He likes dresses. He hates suits. He is attracted to girls. It is all very confusing to him. Up to this point, the book was witty and funny.... but suddenly, from sexually ambiguous and unknowing, the author inserts a sequence that throws the narrator from innocent and confused to sexually aggressive and experienced almost instantly. It was then that the book lost me.... and apparently the author. One of the few books ever that I skipped entire chapters and didn't even care about the ending. Blah.
