The Maintenance Man : A Novel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After hearing and reading all of the reviews of a "must read" book, I sat down on a rainy day and did just that. I like a good literary masterpiece as well as the next person, however, I must admit that sometimes I read books just because I need to escape the realism of day-to-day living and I don't want to think too hard regarding the book that I'm reading. Having said that, I must admit that while The Maintenance Man(TMM) was not a masterpiece, it was entertaining, captivating, fast paced, easy to read and as such I was able to read in one sitting. I liked the storyline-hey this gigolo had it going on and there were some erotic scenes included in the book-and as such it held my attention to the end of the book; the book was drama, drama, and more drama...also liked the subplots and that all kinds of characters were included.
This book fell short of five stars due to the following: · Writing Skills---self published or not, grammatical/typographical errors are a pet peeve in any book. · Character Development---More Character Development Was Necessary; There were opportunities to expand upon Malcolm's character, especially his prior background. · Writing Style--Disappointed by the abrupt ending; I was also disappointed that there was no closure to the story of Ariel and Chris.
Overall, MM isn't for everyone. If you're looking for a quick, easy read and a story that allows you to fantasize/escape the mundane daily living and that doesn't necessarily have a message then read MM ....just for the fun of it and don't worry about the bad reviews!
Remember this book is FICTIONAL and NOT EVERY BOOK HAS TO HAVE A MESSAGE IN ORDER TO BE A GOOD BOOK!

Michael Baisden, the bad boy of literature, strikes gold again with this provocative, nationally bestselling novel about love, lust, and lies. Malcolm Tremell lives the life that most men can only fantasize about: exotic cars, designer clothes, and a steady stream of sexually available women. For the past twelve years, for a very generous fee, Malcolm has willingly played the role of temporary companion and lover. But the endless nights of meaningless sex and secret rendezvous with married women have begun to weigh on his conscience. Malcolm is suffering from job burnout. He soon discovers, however, that a life-style change won't come so easily, not with the allure of so many beautiful women and thousands of tax-free dollars.
