It's not like this book has an innovative or original storyline but it is enjoyable. The story reminds me of the saying, "old wine in new bottle". I've seen this in lots of movies and read this in lots of novels; only the names of the characters were different. The ending especially resembles the endings of average Indian films that addresses the issue of adultery (only they don't have this much of sensual scenes, they prefer to go under the blankets before having sex, or the light is turned of or the camera takes a strategical position to avoid censor problems :P). Still I rated this book 4 stars because it is fun to read. With all the stupid theories and ideas of Alex and the sensual games at places between the lead characters, this book is something the reader can enjoy. The style of writing is good and easy. The pace is just perfect, not too fast neither too slow. It carries the reader through the book. Also, the characters are well built-up and convincing. All together, it's a light read for any common reader to enjoy!It's the story of Monica Wilson (as stated at the very beginning of the novel. The 2nd line), not Monica Waters. The Description needs to be corrected.
