I am such a fan of Mister Maupin and his series of Tales of The City novels, however I felt that this one in the series just fell short and seemed rushed. While it was nice to get to leave SF again in this tale, I felt as if some of the plot line was just stretching it too far. A little too much coincidence for my taste. I still very much love reading about the lives of the Barbury Lane residents, yet my opinion on some of them has changed considering certain events that take place. I feel that Maupin did his job at sucking me into their lives, as now a once favored character of mine I just can't get behind anymore, and of course the always heart string pulling stories of Michael Tolliver will keep me hooked until the series is complete. Not my favorite, but wanting to continue the series without missing a step.
