The Maintenance Man : A Novel

Summary: It's worth the money
Review: Let's get over the typo's and the grammatical errors already! Michael Baisden may not be an editor but he can sure tell a great story. I have read a number of reviews on this book and I am glad that I followed my own insight and purchased this one. I read this book in only eight hours. I didn't want to put it down. I felt this book was well worth the money and I can't wait until his next novel comes out.

Summary: Maintenance Man: It's Midnight, Do You Know Where Your Woman
Review: Michael Baisden is a literary genius. I was so involved with this book. I have read "How and Why Men Cheat" and expected this book to be along the same lines. In some aspects it is. Michael Baisden has shown us that men have feelings too and that they are indeed human. Because most men don't show their emotions as openly as women we tend to think that men don't hurt. I applaud him for showing the softer side of men and at the same time showing us all that men are still strong. If we take the time to reflect, we as females have needed or need a Maintenance Man in our life. Thank You Micheal Baisden for your insight into the big picture. I am currently reading "Men Cry In The Dark" and I love this book as much as Maintenance Man. Keep up the good work Mr.Baisden.

Summary: Great to see a brother write
Review: Writing is personal. The fact that this brother puts his thoughts and ideas out there is commendable. I hope he takes all the reviews and uses them for improvement. There are grammatical and spelling errors. However for us business/career women who need a little something to clear your mind without being grossed out by overplayed sex, it's a good book(and we are intelligent enough to get over this). To the folks critiquing the readers, the mirror is a wonderful thing.

Summary: Very well done!
Review: Michael Baisden has written another good book. I enjoyed it immensely. He had a wide range of characters such as the gigolo, the business man, the promiscuous, the stalker and a few others. I was well entertained and it kept getting better from chapter to chapter. Some of the things the characters did and said seemed pretty life like and that made this a captivating read.

Summary: He Did It Again...
Review: With the exception of the grammer errors, Mr. Baisden's recent release was entertaining. It was nice to see that a brother who mastered the game of HOism finally grew up and got a clue and took the second chance instead of allowing himself to miss the opportunity. Ladies, men can only be dogs if we feed into the madness and buy into the LEASHism!

Summary: untitled
Review: Michael Baisden has done it once again. This book was a page turner. It was interesting to read a story about a man who actually made a career out of dating women. It was astonishing that all he caught was a little heartache. I like the steps he took to develop Ariel's character. She was definitely likeable but capable of making mistakes. It was intersting to see that played out. I also appreciated the bravery to address fornication in the church, from the pulpit.

Summary: Almost Perfect For an Inexperienced Teen Reader
Review: My 16 year old found out about "Maintenance Man" and asked me to get it for her. In her opinion it was a good book, so I decided to read it. I'm an avid reader and I love a good story. The first thing I thought was that at this point Mr. Baisden is not a Pulitzer award-winning author, but the plot of his story was interesting. There were a lot of grammatical and spelling errors in his book that should have never passed his editor and proofreaders. Character development could have been improved. Mr. Baisden doesn't even begin to skim the surface of the world of a male esort (aka gigolo) and he had room to go a lot deeper with his lead character. Mr. Baisden's depiction of women was rather harsh and unsympathetic in my opinion. I think Mr. Baisden should take some constructive criticism, reflect on his motive for wanting to write and who his target audience might be, what they want, and then improve his style and skill.

Summary: Truly an entertaining book!
Review: I want to congratulate Mr. Baisden for his novel "Maintenance Man." I couldn't put it down and the characters were so real and hilarious. I can't wait to read somemore of Mr. Baisden's work. I hope that he has continued success in the future.

Summary: Excellent read!
Review: Congratulations Mr. Baisden on writing a great novel! After reading the Maintenance Man in two sittings, I ran out and bought Men Cry In The Dark and read it in two sittings as well. Needless to say, I'm very anxious to purchase your next release. Keep up the good work. Peace & Blessings!
