Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
From his days at Stanford University to his starring career as 'Mr. Fixit' on a cable TV series, Austin McMillan has only one thing on his mind--women. In a diary chronicling his uproariously funny roller-coaster ride into maturity, he confides his adventures and misadventures with the opposite sex as he tries to make it in a predominantly white world.

This book was very funny and a fast-paced read. The only obvious problem was that the ending just...well.. there wasn't really an ending. You never find out what happens to Austin and all the serious loves of his life (Jenny, Jewel, Didi, Monica). I enjoyed about 90% of the book, but it would have been better to see Austin come full circle and find true love.

While this book does have a certain charm, constant ruminations of a masturbatory nature do not a reader keep. Austin is completely obsessed with sex and the character develops little beyond that. Completely trite, slapped-together, cliched ending is a vast disappointment.

TREY ELLIS CAPTURED MY FANCY AND RETOLD MY YOUTH AND THAT OF MILLIONS OF BOYS WHO GREW UP IN THE '70's. THE PREP SCHOOL EXEPERIENCE, THE SHYNESS AROUND PUBESCENT GIRLS, THE ADULT JOB SEARCH, HE MAKES IT REAL. THE FILM "THE INKWELL" WAS DISNEY'S FEEBLE EFFORT TO TURN THIS BOOK INTO A MOVIE. I RECOMMEND THIS NOVEL TO ANYONE OF EITHER GENDER WHO HAS EVER HAD A CRUSH ON SOMEONE. B. BAYNE, AUTHOR OF "SKY KINGS".
Rated by buyers -
Trey Ellis spills adolescence, sex and multiple romances into a brilliant diary-autobiographical stew. The main character, Austin McMillan plays off of life in small towns and big cities and draws you into each lustful journey and boyish imaginations. I can't wait for his subsequent work which is his third book, Right Here, Right Now. Kudos!
Rated by buyers -
Trey Ellis is a great writer. Read him. Why is he not more well-known? This is a coming of age story that revolves a young grey kid and his trials and tribulations with the opposite sex. A great funny read. Also pick-up "Platitudes" by the same author
