I would like to give 5 stars to this, but I just can't get myself to do it for a book as short as this one. It basically goes from start to finish, no detours, no nothing. As fascinating as the 4 main characters are, there's just too little material in there to treat this book with the same seriousness as bigger books.

Anyway, enough about the length of the book. This is a seriously fun reading experience. Not often, if ever, have I seen sex talked about with such frankness, and it's a refreshing experience. After this book I have the patience to stand another round of Hollywood films where a bare breast is equal to disrupting young viewers' moral standards for life.
