Summary: Hadn't realized other people felt this same way...
Comment: I thought this book was excellent. I had not expected to relate so well to the content, but to me the topic semed less about underage girls and more about the struggle against boredom and apathy that comes with success. In the end, I'm not sure if I felt like less of an ass because others feel the same way I do, or more of one given the brutal portrayal men receive in this book.
The only parts that didn't work for me were the excerpts from the Iliad. They didn't detract from my overall enjoyment, but they did not add anything to it either.
The use of second-person form is a bit unsual, but for me it actually worked quite well since the material was so easy to relate to. I felt the "you" he wrote about could quite plausibly be me, were I in the given situation. And at times I wanted it to be that way, and at times I felt that showed my own flaws and insecurities.
Oh, just a word of warning on this one -- not sure if women will like it. Don't be fooled by the title, the book is all about men. And ladies, if you do read this, I warn you in advance that YES -- men really do think like this. Kelman is not just some lone deviant.

Summary: ...a brilliant work of lust
Comment: Such a hard book to put down, but you really should take your time with it ...then each story can linger about and mess with your head. It would just be too overwhealming to get it all in one sitting. Each day ...a new chapter into someone elses mind ...hmmm, perhaps you're too fragile to know?
...can't wait for more Nic!

Summary: just read it
Comment: Raw and powerful, this beautifully written book will open your eyes or your mind to the quite disturbing minds of some successful men we all know. You won't put it down, and you won't stop thinking about it. It's that simple, but the point of the book isn't.
