Magic Fingers written by Etienne is a story about two former Army Rangers, both served in Iraq and Afaganistan but at different times and different units so they never met, they both left the army to go to college and moved to the same area, attending two different schools, they eventually meet in a gay bar.  David is injured while in afganistan by a grenade, he unfortunately lost his penis in the explosion, leaving him bereft and finding it difficult to take on a lover whos understanding about his impairment.  That is until he meets Kevin, the two quickly fall in love and the story moves from there.  I found it difficult to get a real feel about the characters, they seemed two dimensional, the story itself interesting, it discussed the drawbacks homosexuals have in the military, as well as coming out to a family, and some of the legal aspects of protecting your same sex lover, but there seemed to be a lack of real emotion though out the story that left it bland.  I don't see myself recommending this book to others.
