I came across and read a very short, unusual novel that I though would be a good addition to the collection, so, between validations I took the brief amount of time necessary to scan and pre-validate the book, which I have now submitted. It?s written almost like a poem ? the style as much as the story makes it very interesting. The ending came as a surprise to me, and I?m usually very good at pre-guessing these things. Also, when I think about it more, I find one or two deeper meanings -- whether I'm reading more into it than the author intends or not. I'm not a book-reading club person, but this is one book I wouldn't mind hearing discussed in a group. Because of a discreetly sexually explicit letter near the end, I've rated it adult.
