I read and likedPricks and Pragmatismso I decided to down load this one,  despite the sample being only 89 locations.  Samples are usually roughly 10% of the text,  and 890 locations is a very,  very short novella.  But the sample is deceptive,  it's actually 1593 locations,  still pretty short,  but a bit more than I was expecting.Al is a gentle giant,  with a quite simple,  straightforward world view.  The story is in the third person but completely from his point of view.  He doesn't always get the subtleties,  but Laurence (aka Larry but only by Al!) starts to see his worth and sex and fun times ensue.  There are some minor complications,  but all works out well in the end (I hardly think that's a spoiler)The sex wasn't actually all that hot here,  but Al was a really nicely drawn character and I was happy to spend time with him,  though Larry was clearly happier.1593 locations,  so quite expensive for what it is,  but I still rate it a keeper and a reread.  I read it in one gulp,  don't down load it too late,  or you might be like me and wondering why you are still up at 2 am...
