This book started off well and has a great idea as the basis of the book. However, this thought experiment base for a novel wasn't gripping past the first few chapters, and I began to lose interest pretty quickly. I've read reviews that say the translation might be a problem, as Bulgarian speakers have deemed the translation more boring than the original.

I really felt the pain and joy of the exploration of ballet/dance in this book, however most of the time I wanted to shake the main character. There was a subplot of the AIDs crisis, but I wish this was delved into deeper.
