NOW! Cover
Story At age
twenty-four, Damian Shaw's future now seems nothing
more than a wreathing trek towards hell and
damnation. And all because Jo has set him
free... Free to hurl
himself into an orgy of laddish excess: - necking
vast quantities of Kronenbourg with his close firm
of friends... popping all manner of pills and
snorting lines of coke... drooling over his Anna
Nicole Smith calendar collection... grabbing
late-night taxis across London to mind-blowing
parties... obsessively replaying New Order and
Wagner on his Walkman... ogling bra-busting
starlets in bootleg Russ Meyer videos... lusting
after six-foot clubby blondes in their knee-length
kinky boots. Anything to keep
remorseful thoughts of Jo from his Mind. Meanwhile, one by
one, his supposed friends contrive to defile Jo's
memory with their careless remarks - till, under
his apparent nonchalance, Damian begins to seethe
with an impenetrable hatred. And wreaking
vengeance on all of them becomes his new
obsession... We
Say I think Allen
Jarvis has missed the point. It's all very well
creating a leading character who is utterly
dislikable (and he has), but at the very least we
are supposed to actually like the book itself. I
found e-males impossible to like. The central
character, Damian Shaw, goes from one party to the
next, takes this drug then that, has sex with this
girl then her, etc. etc. which is all very well but
e-males is simply a feel-bad book littered with
repetitious and unimaginative writing. Damian Shaw
will have you wanting to smack him by the second
chapter and soon after you'll feel the same for
every other character. Granted, e-males picks up to
a reasonable storyline and a small amount of
tension raises it's head in the final couple of
chapters - unfortunately, by this stage you will
likely have turned off. An unnecessarily
pointless and nasty piece of fiction. Review by: Rob
