This was a beautifully written book. On several occasions I would find
myself
re-reading the prose just to take in the description that the author
wrote about:
"a slab of sunlight on the floor".
The shortfall of the story, however, was that it was hard to identify
with Max,
who seemed so self absorbed and superficial. It was with great
difficulty that
I could sense his personal pain.
