5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtakingly Erotic, 22 Oct 2001
By A Customer
I so disagree with the reviewer who thought that the explicit sexual encounters in the book were a pity. It is not only a simple coming of age novel, it is a deeply erotic book, with a passion for erotic loving encounters between young teenage men.

Even the brevity of some of the encounters does not remove the love between the boys.

More, please, Mr Kent. Another full length novel, please, not simply the short stories. These books are impossible to put down. A long evening will vanish into spave with a book like this,

4.0 out of 5 stars Bawdy goings on at a boys' school, 22 Jan 2007
By Benjamin (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Tim Dunn is eighteen years old, he has finished his A levels and has just started his gap year as assistant housemaster at Swithins Hall public school for boys where he proves to be very popular with the pupils. Tim relates his experiences at Swithins Hall as well as reminiscing on his own past school days.
At Swithins Hall one the boys, the unabashed, very appealing and bright Sam Sebestyen, endeavours to seduce the morally reluctant but physically more than willing Tim; his constant pleas "please sir, it's what I want", are hard to resist. Tim is confronted by other willing and pleading students, and witnesses various illicit goings on between the boys. But despite the attractions of Swithins Hall, Tim cannot get out of his mind his boyhood friend Guy; they meet when new boy Guy arrived at Tim's boarding school and became best friends. However Tim realises he is really in love with Guy, but isn't Guy straight; and will they ever see each other again now that Guy has moved to Australia?
This is more than just a series of sexual romps; with a steamy experience on holiday in Spain and through his short time at Swithins Hall the rather starchy and naive Tim loosens up and comes to acknowledge and enjoy his inclinations; he also learns that sex, friendship and love are not necessarily the same thing.
Through Chris Kent's lucid writing, Tim Dunn narrates his outrageous past and present experiences with humour and passion, and his many sexual escapades in explicit detail, a great fun read.

4.0 out of 5 stars This has got to be a classic of its genre!, 7 May 2000
By A Customer
In a way it's a pity the author had loaded this book with such graphic sex scenes. The writing, and the story itself, is of such high quality that it doesn't need everything described so graphically. This book appears to be written with real knowledge and affection for its subject, and for its theme: how does a gay boy express his affection in a world that is exclusively male? The episodes are set in different locales: southern Turkey, Barcelona, a school somewhere in the south of England. Every setting rings true. And there is such an authenticity about the characters, as well as the settings, that you have to wonder to what extent the novel is biographical. Not that it matters much. The story stands up on its own, and unlike so many novels of its kind, bears reading again and again.
