Black Hole Ending

Well, what can I say about Black Hole that hasn't been said about the Black Plague? Long, and seemingly never ending, the second half of the novel left right where the first half left me: utterly confused and turned off. So, the infected become social outcasts and decide to live at the pit. That's great. A 10 year old could see the metaphor for the obvious taboo nature of having underage sex. Maybe it requires more reading. Maybe it's not my cup of tea. Or maybe I didn't give it a fair chance. I tried, but I couldn't find it in myself to like the book.
