This was a fascinating story. Brown’s candor in representing himself is refreshing and, even if one doesn’t exactly empathize with his choices, he makes it clear (through action, introspection, and contrast against his friends) why he goes into seeking "escorts." The body of the novel itself is a very thoughtful conversation on the sex industry, but on top of that Brown provides a couple dozen appendices that sufficiently address nearly every point that could be raised in objection to the existence of prostitution or the patronage of this profession. It’s a quite complex issue that has been oversimplified and grossly misrepresented by mainstream media, and this book stands as a very calm and lucid rebuttal.
