Customer Reviews

good job

Such a good book. Not only did I love the book but it arrived a day before scheduled,in great condition and I appreciated it very much. Thanks for doing such a good job.

A Thought-provoking read

Isherwood takes on the ambiguities inherent in sexuality,religious devotion, and sibling relationships in a completelynon-polemical way. Easy to read, involving, and witty, the Isherwood way. A fifth star would be deserved if the book were a little messier--it does have a slight tendency toward "patness". But that's a minor quibble. END
