One of the Guys

I read this book quickly and laughed out loud while reading it! The author writes well--the characters are described as real personalities. It reminded me of "The World According to Garp".

Indeed, it is, and this book has the best policy I've seen in a long time. In a literary world full of books where, no matter the genre, the characters act in extremely predictable ways, Young's book offers uncomprimising and refreshing honesty in his book about a fraudulent naval chaplain. If you want a book that isn't afraid to hold a mirror up to the life around us, this is your pick.

I really loved this book! One of the Guys is FUNNY, SURREAL AND SEXY--no matter what your persuasion! Miles Derry, the main character, seizes life with a frenzy un-matched by most humans. This book is not for the faint-hearted or the politically correct. Robert Clark Young gives his characters no peace, and his readers even less. It's a read you won't forget.

What can I say...I simply couldn't put it down. STUNNING.

I found this book amusing, fun, and hilarious while at the same time serious and somewhat heartbreaking. Miles' quest to find out his true identity is hard enough, and pretending to be someone he is not makes it ever more difficult. It was a very original way to show Miles' character. Thumbs up to Robert Young! END

The premise of this book is interesting and the first few pages were both well written, and very promising. Unfortunately, the writing deteriorated through the rest of the book. There were too many run-on sentences and obvious strains of effort in putting together the dialog. A book is generally not worth reading when one starts to feel uncomfortable and embarrassed for the author. I'm not objecting to the premise or language of the book but to the quality of the writing which simply wasn't very good.Oddly enough I first encountered this book when its creator sent me an unsolicited email message urging me to read it. Receiving spam is obnoxious enough in itself, but receiving heaps of self-praise and frantic requests to buy a marginally written work is just sad.
