This is the first book by this author that I have read. I don't quite like his writing style. It is very abrupt and choppy. I would say that this book was proofread by a drunk, because it made sense to him/her at the time. The sentences seemed to be a bunch of run on sentences, no punctuations where they belonged, and some fragmented ones. It was a bit distracting, but I got the gist of his ideas.

The book consists of two novels: Old Flames and Right to Life. Old Flames was very much like a Lifetime movie (which is a guilty pleasure of mine). It was a common plot and very predictable. Right to Life I would have to rate as NC-17. There are some areas that might be a little too provocative for some readers.
