I've been in something of a reading slump for a while, so I decided to try to break it up with what I figured would be a quick read. I found this at a used bookstore. I haven't had a lot of luck with Digital Manga Publishing's yaoi novels, so I tried to keep my expectations low.
Here are some good things about this book: It was a very quick read. It was mildly entertaining, wondering what stupid thing Takeyuki would do next. Although there was at least one moment when one of the kidnappers considered raping Takeyuki, no rapes occurred. Yay! I was also surprised at how little sex there was and how late in the book the sex happened. In theory, this meant there was lots of time to get to know the characters and see them interact and fall in love.
