Summary: HELD MY ATTENTION!
Review: After hearing and reading all of the reviews of a "must read" book, I sat down on a rainy day and did just that. I like a good literary masterpiece as well as the next person, however, I must admit that sometimes I read books just because I need to escape the realism of day-to-day living and I don't want to think too hard regarding the book that I'm reading. Having said that, I must admit that while The Maintenance Man(TMM) was not a masterpiece, it was entertaining, captivating, fast paced, easy to read and as such I was able to read in one sitting. I liked the storyline-hey this gigolo had it going on and there were some erotic scenes included in the book-and as such it held my attention to the end of the book; the book was drama, drama, and more drama...also liked the subplots and that all kinds of characters were included.This book fell short of five stars due to the following: · Writing Skills---self published or not, grammatical/typographical errors are a pet peeve in any book. · Character Development---More Character Development Was Necessary; There were opportunities to expand upon Malcolm's character, especially his prior background. · Writing Style--Disappointed by the abrupt ending; I was also disappointed that there was no closure to the story of Ariel and Chris. Overall, MM isn't for everyone. If you're looking for a quick, easy read and a story that allows you to fantasize/escape the mundane daily living and that doesn't necessarily have a message then read MM ....just for the fun of it and don't worry about the bad reviews! Remember this book is FICTIONAL and NOT EVERY BOOK HAS TO HAVE A MESSAGE IN ORDER TO BE A GOOD BOOK!

Summary: WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE CONFISCATE HIS WORD PROCESSOR?
Review: I kept looking for a plot but could not find it. Why does he keep cranking out these losers from his freshman creative writing class?

Summary: Useless Imagination
Review: There's fantasy, fiction and both require imagination. This book is just too much of not enough. I do, however, plan to read his other book(s) to see if this "MM" is his style or an awful deviation from his natural ability to write well (I hope)

Summary: DRAMA! DRAMA! DRAMA!
Review: Drama! Drama! Drama! I hope this is really not how men treat women and certainly not how women act when they are not being watched. I enjoyed the book and the ending was definitely real life endings. Simon really lost it! Ariel was too strong of a sister to the point she was blindly dating men and The Maintenance Man was this sincere man who grew and became his father or should I say finally became a real man. Its a must read book from a man's prospective of the real world. My husband also enjoyed it!

Summary: A MUST READ for enjoyment or enlightenment!
Review: I could not put this book down once I started. From the beginning of the development of the characters until the end of a the not so unique, but heart wrenching truth of why a superficial love life is not all the hype its appears to be. For every man who thinks being a "playa" is the epitome of the American relationship dream, to the women who promote them... and those on the sidelines being hurt or influenced by them.. and those that have not experienced either side.. Read this book. If not for enlightment, then read,if not for the shear enjoyment of a well told story that feels more like fact than fiction! Michael after this last book, I am your now your #2 fan, after your MOM!

Summary: A Real Good Book!
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book. I read it in about 3 days. In my opinion it is a quick read. The chapters are short but to the point. The story is a lesson to be learned. Thanks Michael for showing females what really goes through a man's head! I was a little disappointed at Ariel ending but satisfied with the ending altogether. I don't feel like I was left hanging.

Summary: Facing reality
Review: This book was a "page-turner". I started on Monday evening(last night) and was up until 1:30 a.m. You will definitely find it eye and imagination-pleasing. Especially, when he describes the local area (I can truly relate), the smooth "stepping tunes" and the dusties from the past - talk about mind-blowing.

Summary: Maintainence Man
Review: The book was just another group of words passing for a novel. There is no character development but that's probably because their is no plot. It's another Buppie formula book that leaves alot to be desired.
