Review: Papazoglou's strong suits are her descriptions of wacky characters and authentic local scenes. Among the idiosyncratic people we meet in this story are a fifty-five year old tattoed, coccaine-addict ex-prostitute and a thirty year old virgin famous for writing the sexiest books in the romance field. I should also mention the kleptomaniacal cat. The best New York descriotions include a special Greek restaurant and a trip through parts of 42nd Street and Ninth Avenue.
