Summary: A fresh look at the gay coming-of-age process...
Review: From the safety of his parent's home to the intoxicating streets of Atlanta, young Justin is rapidly thrust into a world of sex and sin. The events that unfold are told from the perspective of this "reluctant" callboy, and it's through Justin's singular interpretation and frank observations that we are delivered a fresh narrative revolving around a common theme. But beyond the basic story we find an underlying deeper message, rare with these kinds of tales. By providing a unique and thought-provoking study in duality, Christopher Scott Sarno blurs the boundaries between right and wrong in an attempt to understand the ways in which gay men behave. He forces us to examine our choices, our needs, and the consequences of our desires. A fine first novel.

Summary: I can't wait for his next book
Review: I heard about Chris' book from another writer, and as I enjoyed his work, took his word that this book would be good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I only wish that Justin the main character, had followed his heart. We all know that in real life that doesn't always happen either. It was well written, and easily drawn in to the story and the characters. I look forward to his next book.

Summary: A fresh look at the gay coming-of-age process...
Review: Spending my "coming out" years in Atlanta allowed me to relate to this book from the start, hence my initial reason for purchasing it. Set in Atlanta, it is an interesting and honest account of a boy's life as a reluctant prostitute. His humble beginning, noble attempt to define himself, and his subsequent downfall are chronicled with finesse and candor. While I can see why some have labeled this book "erotica," it really is more of a narrative with erotic moments. The story itself revolves around the sex but focuses more on the character's predicaments. All in all, it was a quick and enjoyable read that definitely delivered what it promised.
