Apartment is a page turner; the story of an abortive bromance, with regular (and just as abortive) hints of homoeroticism, that begins and ends in solitude. Needless to say that struck a bruised chord with me.

The language is rich and enticing (even if the author may be overworking his mental thesaurus in the first quarter of the book). 

Throughout I didn't really know where the plot was taking me (particulalry true, I suspect, for a queer reader of this "straight" novel) but I was ready for the ride, anf it didn't disappoint.
