Summary: Angels Are Lusty
Review: "Angel Lust" gives life to Tommy and Bert, who are Perry Brass' two most wonderful and well-written characters. Their love and their story span the centuries and the reader "rides" the ages with them. Filled with sex, lust and true caring man-to-man love, this may be Brass' best novel yet. I do hope the story will continue...--David Swisher

Summary: I really liked it!
Review: After reading a lot of serious non-fiction this book was a great break from it all. I like the way Perry blows out the Judeo-Christian concept of angels and God being all goody-goody and making them real living beings. It's a fun, sexy, fantasy, adventure. I really enjoyed it. 4 stars because I didn't like the ending...

Summary: IF I COULD GIVE LESS THAN 1 STAR I WOULD
Review: Angel lust might possibly be the worst book I have ever had the displeasure of reading. It is poorly written with flimsy, plasic characters that offer absolutely nothing and is little more than cheap tawdry porn. If you're looking for a novel don't bother, and if you are looking for erotica you could find better material in a bathroom stall.

Review: Excellent book, a little challenging at first but once you become accustom to switching centuries, it really holds your attention. It would be a great book to begin a series with about Tom & Bert.

Summary: Unreadable Crap
Review: Our Gay Male Fiction Book Club selected this book blindly for our September read. We thought to give a new writer a try and, mysteriously, it had gotten good reviews. It is not literature, it is very poorly written porn.

Summary: Angels Are Lusty
Review: This book had more substance than either the title or the provocative cover photo implies and is quite an improvement over other gay erotica I've read. In fact, it should not even be classiified in this category for a number of reasons including the large quantity of research so obvious in its contents. Instead of a spiritual fantasy, this story reads more like an alternate history which, when juxtaposed with alternate sexuality, resulted in surprising dynamics that many books of either genre lack. The socio-political issues raised by the author yielded tension and gave credibility to the plotline which connected settings and characterizations through time-skipping a la Kurt Vonnegut. Though its continuity seemed occasionally disjointed (my only major criticism), I was never bored. The author's tendency to transform people and places into archetypes was somewhat derivative of, say, Clive Barker's approach, but it provided a heady alternative to your average work of erotica. I could readily identify with the impulsive nature of the protagonist and the quirkiness of the book's supporting cast of misfits and heroes; these qualities helped to flesh out (so to speak) their characters, angelic or otherwise. The liberal use of sexually explicit scenes was not necessarily gratuitous since they operated as a plot device: orgasm as the catalyst for time travel. Implausible as this notion may seem, I revelled in its escapism. Though no one can be defined solely by their sexual orientation, the concept of Eros as the equivalent of pure spirituality (the connecting thread) intrigued me. It's reassuring to know that we have more than referential non-fiction to depict the diversity of gay culture and its indispensibility to history.
