So you are looking at this and you are thinking its erotica and you may or may not be a fan of it but you will be missing out on something great if you pass it by. So far i have been following along and i would say this one is better than the previous stories. the style and the quality are constants but the character and plot are evolving nicelythe style of writing is compact and very focused on what has to be said. There is little need to elaborate as we travel through the events in a real memoir style but the imagery is very easy to follow.Oliver (the gigolo)has a complex and often conflicting personality. he is aristocratic in his personal history but now he is selling himself for money. the clients he comes across illustrate his story; the pop star with his decadent surroundings and on the other side of the coin there is The Baboon who is funny yet vile. i wont say any more about that incase i ruin it.Finally the reason why i think these stories are five and not four star are because i love the kind of mood that is set in the story. its hard to describe but if you have read any Bret Easton Ellis story then you will know that atmosphere. its sort of bleak, empty of warmth and sometimes very tense. do give it a go but i would recommend reading volume 1 firstly. Just be warned that once you read that you are going to end up drawn to this.
