Customer Reviews

A quick amusing read

A quick, amusing read, but not Gide's best work. The work doesn't have the same subjective character studies I've grown to love, but rather reads like a scientific paper written by a skeptical college student. Nonetheless, it is a landmark work in gay literature and so I gave it 4 stars instead of the 3 it actually earned.
