The book began about as expected. In the back of my mind, I was thinking 'the author should have just gone ahead and written the hard core details in the sex scenes. It really is what this book is about after all...'
But the book went on. The salacious details died down. The story deepened. I also noted that in detailing the licentious Varius' activities, the tone was never condemnatory. Throughout the book, , Varius sexuality is treated respectfully. His relationship with Hierocles is portrayed positively (well, as positively as can be in a soap opera of a book.) Checking the details of Kyle Onstott's life, I could see that he may well have empathized with Varius' homosexuality. In the sixties, this must have been a revelation to many gay readers.
None of the characters were likeable. Honestly, how could they be? But the book was detailed with footnotes supporting the story details, which surprised me. Honestly, the book was just better than I had figured it would be. I really wound up enjoying Child of the Sun in a different way than I was expecting. ( )
