Jeff Woodman does a brilliant job with the narration. On occasion, the author's attempts at humor can be kind of forced, but it is largely a funny book. There's explicit of explicit sex (gay, straight and mixed) throughout; at times I fast forwarded through that, not because I'm a prude, but because I was interested in gettihng to the plot itself. Edward, the protagonist, is techically bisexual. However, I remained unconvinced that he was particularly attracted to women as such, more that he could relate sexually to women (like Kelly) whom he liked. I'd read another by this author.
