To be quite honest, I liked it, but not as much as I'd hoped. The book is broken up in 3 parts with a third of being a first person account from the character Will's point-of-view. To be honest, I couldn't stand Will so to have to put up with his small-minded misogyny from his point-of-view for the majority of the book...well, I'm simply happy to make it to the end. With Will's character it felt like the author was trying way too hard to make Will way to straight. And besides, with a title like "Jack Holmes and His Friend," I wanted Jack to BE the main character, not a sidekick. I hope White's earlier works will rub me better.
