Rating: 5 out of 5

While I found this creative fictional work both hiliarious and seriously action-packed, woven within the pages are the internal struggles acted out externally.  As mother passes grandfather's pants to son Jack her desire and his decision to wear them would attract individuals and situations like never before.  Both father and grandfather's "rotation" with women shared by his eccentric mother and friends to son Jack, would add to the fire three enticing women she would boldly introduce to him, testing his affections to the limit despite his love for girlfriend Connie.Jack's mother Claire and her distaste for her sister Olivia Wells will unfold in a series of actions involving revenge, blackmail, and a quest for a keepsake that once obtained does not give the satisfaction desired.  As Olivia Wells can't forget the past and move forward, Jack on the other hand vacillates from trying to break the traditional grip of multiple lovers, while battling how he can still be alive physically but on paper lose his life and business.As you perhaps identify with the dysfunctional aspects of relatives and acquaintances hold on tight to the steering wheel for mom's friends Stella and Harriet will take you on a wild, hiliarious ride.  Connie's promising brother Robert's fate will change due to an unruly mishap on his part.  It will however bring out the devotion Connie extends toward him and how boyfriend Jack would literally fight on behalf of both of them.Author Maus will deeply make you feel the inner struggles of Jack between Connie and Gabriel.  Discover if he will follow in the same footsteps as his grandfather and dad or break free and devote himself to one.  Though you can physically get rid of grandfather's pants, it may take a bit more courage to shake off propensities that easily desire to ensnare.  It reminded me fully that we are what we think and perhaps our "thinking" needs a little refining.Not only do I recommend this book as it is 5 star quality, but too do I recommend Author Maus fantastic science fiction delights.  An Author with hopefully many more works on the horizon, I rate his creativity to be extremely high.
