  <default_description>An extraordinary literary debut, this book is about the AIDS epidemic, the civil war in Beirut, death, sex, and the meaning of life. Daring in form as well as content, Koolaids turns the traditional novel inside out and hangs it on the clothesline to air.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[An amazing book!!!  It read more like poetry than prose.  AIDS and Lebanon are two things that I am not that familiar with but the humanity in which he writes about them makes them very familiar.  He is at times hilarious and always irreverent.  I enjoyed this book very much!]]></body>
