The theme is excellent and the creativity is good. The story revolves around culture and their differences. It is a very excellent book. It is about an isolated tribe of people, their life, culture and values.
Breathtaking!!

I had to give 5 stars to this book. The story, the characters, the "scenary", the writting,... makes you read about 500 pages in a blink of an eye. This book addresses a real problem that our supposed "advanced" society has yet to match. How to we deal with our strong emotions and instincts regarding to sex and pleasure. Repress it, or aknowledge it? This is a decision each one of us has to make several times in the course of our life, but in the meantime read this book and see how a tribe in a lost island of the Pacific did it. Maybe they can teach you a thing or two...
One of the best by Wallace

I have read almost every book of Wallace and have a strong liking for it. In this book he depicts the lifestyles of the Polyneasians. Wish I could have a copy of it.
