It's always tricky reviewing a book when you know the author, and I've known Patrick for years. It's even more difficult when the book is awful. Though I suppose it's quite an achievement to write a book that manages to be both totally pretentious and utterly crude at the same time.
Sorry Patrick, you're a nice person, but this is a dreadful book.

Journal Entry 4 by Chch2009-Con from Christchurch, Canterbury New Zealand on Friday, October 17, 2008
Reserved for the 2009 Bookcrossing Convention.
I was handed this book by lyttletonwitch at the World Bookcrossing Convention. The author, Patrick Evans is a world renowned authority on New Zealand's "favourite and most unread author" Janet Frame. Professor Evans spoke at our Convention about Janet Frame and I had him sign this book for me.
Finally took this book off my shelf and started reading it. Emphasis is on "started" as I never finished it! I did get as far as page 103, which I think is a very adequate attempt. Crude is an appropriate description for this book, although I didn't mind the the literary handling of the interconnection of girlfriends past in the section Making it. I thought it was interesting that Cam kept imagining he was with Joy or Thelma or Barbara or Edna, when he was with one of the others.
However, I have too many books to bother any more with this one.

You can keep it or leave it for someone else to find. And don't forget, if you join BookCrossing (it doesn't cost anything to join!) and make release notes (to say where you've left it, and when) next time it's journalled you'll hear from it too!
