Summary: A Wild Ride!
Review: From start to finish this book is a wild ride. Arthur Nersesian breaks all the rules and comes out a winner. His characters in Manhattan Loverboy are far from perfect, almost warped even, yet the reader is so intrigued it's nearly impossible to put the book down. By the end of this book, I couldn't believe the twists it had taken!I'd recommend Nersesian's books to anyone who is looking for something a little different and a lot of great reading.

Summary: What was this about?
Review: I really don't know how this book got a five star rating. Nersesian's friends must have stuffed the ballots because this book has no redeeming quality what so ever. All the reviews state "this can only happen in New York" and the character Joey, "embodies the perfect paranoia found only in Manhattan". I have lived in NYC all my life, and if I acted like this idiot, I would have been shot. People, please save your money...you'll thank me for this advice...

Summary: Deep light Reading
Review: Neresian has the talent to create tales which are easy to swallow in a few sittings but are surprisingly loaded with character depth and strange twists and turns. This novel, like his previous works, does the same: by taking an under achiever-below avegerage character and putting them into extraordinary circumstances. It's very hard to even explore these stories without giving away some of the plot devices which make them so addictive.

Summary: What was this about?
Review: Nersesian's narrator Joey Aeiou embodies the perfect paranoia found only in Manhattan, where overcrowding, vanity, and extreme economic imbalalance breed fear and grandiosity on a large scale. The book dispenses with the plausible and moves directly into the real--the kind of real that echoes Kurt Vonnegut, Franz Kafka, Katherine Dunn, etc. Way more than a moral tale. Plan to laugh out loud.

Summary: Joey's Wild Ride
Review: Nersesian's newest book is a fast-paced ride through the turbulent life of a grad. student with an imagination bigger than my professors' egos. I identified with Joey's fanatical behavior when his funding source pulled his grant, but the events that unfloded afterward could have only happened in NYC. Nersesian's quick wit and dark satire weave a fantastic story about what can happen when we try too hard to believe everything we think we see. Without question, I recommend this book as a welcome relief from the familiar ennui of graduate studies.

Summary: Manhattan Loverboy Arthur Nersesian at his best.
Review: The book was a compelling story about a selfish, paranoid egotistical pig of a man. The book is completely crazy and has warped my mind forever. I didn't think it could get any better until the end when Joey was tricked by his so-called buddy for the last and final time. It was incredible, well writen, and the best book I have ever read. Arthur Nersesian has permanently found himself a space in my heart and many others.
