Both of the protagonists were hard to like in different ways. Both smug, but one bitter and the other spoiled but grieving. If you've read, you'll know who is which. The focus on the story seemed in the wrong places and paced with annoying repetition. I would have loved to have more about the boys' childhoods. Dova's mother and her background were far more interesting to me. I expected a climax, but instead got blue balls. One human being judging another, from nothing but a sparse childhood presence and his current state to go on. I liked the suggestion that they had a boyish crush on each other. The end was oddly fantastic.
