 I was expecting better August 28, 2007
I like the premise of a novel written in the form of correspondences between the characters, and the premise worked well here. But I was disappointed in that it seemed to be slow in the first half, where it was not clear where the story was headed. Things picked up in the last part of the book a bit. The best part really was the ending, because it did not end up going down the predictable road I was expecting. I did not find it funny; indeed, all the humor seemed to depend on a stereotypical "old queen", whose cultural references were sometimes too obscure to generate a laugh. Also, I did not really care too much about most of the characters and found myself just wanting to get to the end to be done with it. If you want a good gay romance with this correspondence-exchange format, read "Almost Like Being In Love" by Steve Kluger.Almost Like Being in Love: A Novel
 Couldn't put it down! May 28, 2007
Jamie James' "Andrew and Joey" was a great read. Funny, engaging, and a style unlike any I've read before. Thinking it was a light vacation read, that's where I took it. Surprisingly, the characters were deep and I really became connected with them and their stories. Pick it up, you won't be able to put it down!
 Get past the first few chapters and you will read to the end July 28, 2004

This story has it all for the PC gay metrosexual. Biracial gay couple. Tearjerking breakup. Dysfunctional relationships. Chickenhawking. World travel. Set in New York, San Francisco, and Indonesia, it is an easy read. One warning: the entire book, cover to cover, is formatted as a series of email exchanges. The first chapter is difficult because the email format is not conducive to character development, but eventually you'll figure out who all the players are.

This book was a real snooze. Predictable characters, pseudo-amusing, "clever" and "wise" campy lines from the tired old queen who presides over the whole debacle, and a remarkably dull plot line. The author should have kept the manuscript in the desk drawer.
