A third of this book is amusing, fun, and about interesting characters. The rest is filled with boring stereotypes and cliches that finally made it unreadable. Every gay man is not sex-obsessed, cruising the dunes, and explaining to dumb straights the intricacies of glory holes and back rooms. I've nothing against a good dollop of sex but this book is over the top. Save your money and read Joe Keenan, Stephen McCauley and Jim Grimsley.
