Easy Read
Customer Rating: 3 out of 5 
Not a great book, but an Ok one. Something you can read in a day. Reads like a gossip column or womans magazine. Not so profound, though there are two or three pieces in the book that provoke some thought, however the object of the book does not seem to be to do so. As the reviews say.... it is an airplane or beach read that will not take so long. You definitely need to be in the mood to read this though.

Love the book...Read this book in a few hours.
Will look forward to read more of Ben Tyler books.

Ruination of a good idea
Customer Rating: 1 out of 5 
This book could have been such fun. It's upsetting then that it is actually very poorly written and unforgivably boring! The characters are less than one dimensional, if that's possible. And the plot twists make no sense at best, and at worst contradict previous events. For example, two men (Luke and Zeth) are shown on video naked together and exchanging I-Love-You's, and then later in the book, the same two characters have sex FOR THE FIRST TIME! Also, a character (Rocky) is referred to as being openly gay, and then later in the book denies sleeping with men, seemingly for no reason. The author also seems to be fascinated with the humor of urine, feces, and pain - but he can describe nothing with humor or grace. I identified with only one character, Cameron, in that I felt like a masochist because I forced myself to read the entire book. This book is a complete waste of time, money, paper, and a good idea for a plot.

Great Mind Candy
Customer Rating: 2 out of 5 
Not Shakespear, but if your looking for a fun raunchy book to take your mind off the stresses of daily life, this is the one.

Ghastly
Customer Rating: 1 out of 5 
Nothing is more painful than fluff or camp that can't even rise to the level of guilty pleasure. Tyler's novel suggest a pilot for a gay Aaron Spelling TV show written by a smug high school sophmore who thinks he's sophisticated because he knows how to curse. The "bitchy" humor (oh so knowing, if you've spent your life under a rock) makes you wince, and the characters are totally cardboard. If you want to give a fun camp novel for Xmas, skip this stinker and give one of the Patrick Dennis reissues, Little Me or The Joyous Season
