This is another book I listened to on CD. It was reviewed by io9 as a story about a sexually-transmitted city. And that's about the gist of it. It's a very ethereal book about a city on the edge of reality that can only be visited by having sex with someone who has a tattoo of a part of the map of the city on their body. It follows four strangers who all have an encounter that takes them to the city of Palimpsest and their quests to return. Despite the interesting premise, I didn't enjoy it.

Come visit my blog for the full review...
