I like that it dealt with the beautiful and slightly tawdry Luke's feelings about his lifestyle - Luke isn't exactly a hustler,  he doesn't accept cash,  but he does accept free rent and clothes in exchange for sex.  And then he is introduced to Russell, who offers him free room and board,  but won't sleep with him.  Why not?  What could it possibly mean?  It's not exceptionally well written,  and Russell was definitely underwritten,  but Luke has enough of spin to him to make it work for me.  B+
