So several things;
One: I've had this on my kindle for about 5 years and is one of the earliest books i downloaded as a freebie--back when i hoped i could get some good books for free.
Two: My tastes have changed in that time. Maybe it's my having read books 5-12 of Kim Harrisons The Hollows back to back, and currently reading book 13 but this just didnt interest me in the slightest.
Three: The kinda creepy Dorian character. The way he's described in this at the earlier points is some sort of sinister but very sexy looking guy. His name just makes me think vampire, and the initial description made me think weirdo so the fact that she's basically salivating over him..? Not working for me.
So all of the above combined? Yeah, the book is most definitely not for me.

Admirably serious tone and the central metaphor is coherent, but the problem with a lot of these foreign-shot films is that all the money seems to have gone on plane tickets, and the photography is often primitive and flat (a bit like a travelogue from the Moroccan Tourist Board). The pace is also not all it could be. Some decent bits here and there but the drabness of the film and its lack of incident counts against it. A case of potential not being realised.
