I read this on recommendation and I was glad I did. There is no question Monopoli is an accomplished writer, drawing the reader in within the first few pages. I liked his descriptive style, which was enough to ensure the reader understood the scenes but still leaving some of the finer detail to the readers imagination.
The Story was well balanced but concentrates on the unrequited love experienced by the main character and how it had and still does affect his life and relationships.
The Story bounces between current and past events, which certainly gives a great back story to the main theme, however, personally, I'm not a fan of the model and was the only reason I dropped my rating to 4 stars. It would have been 5 if it was not for that personal dislike.

Just an awesome book. Loved how it went back and forth between time. At time youll love the main character and other times youll hate him.

It held my interest, kept me reading. Great character description. I like how it delves in the past. Suspenseful to the end.
