Title: SAVE YOUR MONEY! Flat, slow-moving novel.
Review: This novel was wearyingly melodramatic (especially Maya's relationship with Gil) and competently if blandly written. The author seemed to resort to broad dramatic strokes in lieu of interesting character development. It struck me as being a very typical coming-of-age novel, with a bit of half-baked political metaphor thrown in. Disappointing!
