Title: I was looking forward to enjoying this book, but....
Review: S.P. Somtow writes wonderful short stories and I can easily recommend them. His novel "Jasmine Nights" is very well written, extremely entertaining and on my list for one of the best books I read last year.Unfortunately "Vanitas" was a bit tough for me to get through. I don't think the author spent much time editing this book and in the end, I was to the point of not caring what happened.I was looking forward to enjoying this book, but I didn't. Save your time and skip this one but DO read "Jasmine Nights" - you will not be sorry.
