Upon receiving this book, it took me roughly two days to finish. Given a very hectic life, which requires much reading and writing, this is a testament to how intellectually enticing this book was to read. Honestly, I am usually not interested in this type of fiction, yet it hijacked my litetary senses from page one. The honesty and vivid description of mistakes of the heart and love lost, real or imagined, was truly captivating. Moreover, Mr. Avery is able to encapsulate, in his own way, the all too familiar experience of young black men struggling to confront sexuality and familial expectations.

Mr. Avery has proven himself a peer among up and coming writers of this genre.

I am off to read Details, Mr. Avery's latest installment...

This book, I think, has a lot of potential, as does the author. It reads as though you are experiencing what the characters are feeling. From the abuse that is experienced through the father, to the love, the betrayal, and ultimately the sorrow, i think all too many of us have a story way too familiar to this one to not give it all the credit that it is due. For this being his first novel, it was actually a pretty good job and i am awaiting his next one.
