Spoiler Alert: Really looking forward to finishing this book. Can't swallow so many pieces of it:
1. A guy who wants to clean out his butt with a turkey baster after sex, and cries like a baby when his lover discovers him.
2. A straight, multi-millionaire who is indecisive and puts up with the tantrums of a grown man.
3. A stalker who comes out of the blue and shoots a lover.
The list goes on and on...

I am only reading this because I feel like I should finish it. I've a bit bored with incredible situations and contrived conversation. It really drags.

A little hard to get into this rather long book because it seems a bit slow. Also, it seems that the characters all tend to view the world in terms of hyperbolic extremes--smells comparable to atomic explosions, looks so ugly that parents should have killed their babies. Either the British see people at their extremes or the author is trying too hard. Either way, it's hard for me to get a sense of reality here.
