A rip roaring romp!, 02 Feb 2004
I found this book to be not only hilarious in its dry humour but also strangely sensual and alluring. As a 56 year old nun I have had many of the burning desires for the sweet scent of a pair of womens knicker repressed. My friend Father O'Flahrety also found it to be compelling and could not but it down. We haven't seen him or my well used copy of the book since, nor Sisters Assumpta and Agatha.

Erotic, explicit and believable stories of sexy teen boys., 21 Apr 2005
A thoroughly well written book recounting a whole series of truly believable and hotly explicit stories of sexual encounters between young teenage boys and between boys and older men. The author really captures the steamy and obsessive preoccupation of boys with their bodies and often overwhelming sexual desires, gratified in the easiest way possible at that age, with other boys, especially if one is stuck in an all boys school. The book is in no way too American and can be very strongly recommended, particulary if like me you are yourself a "graduate" of an all boy secondary schooling!

As an ardent reader of yaoi manga I had to run into Chris Kent one day or rather, night. My first thought on flickering through the pages was: great stuff, yummy and steamy!
But as I read more thoroughly, it turned out that there really is profound meaning behind the entertaining surface. The stories are sometimes hilarious, often funny and always very well written. Once in a while they are deeply moving, especially in the endings.
There is a slight tendency to overdo the "political correctness" e.g. the older man usually tells his younger partner that as great as their love-making was, they must renounce physical encounters from now on for the sake of good friendship. Of course the understanding young man sees it the same way, and both end up fly-fishing chastily ever after.

On the whole, Kent's writings are little gems of yaoi storytelling, and possess qualities that purely "sexy" stories seldom can boast of: they contain clever thoughts and convey messages that make you think. Highly recommendable!

This book contains different styles of short story about boys in erotic love with other boys.

It was a wonderful book to read, particularly because there is so little in this genre. The different styles seemd like experiments for another novel like Boys of Swithins Hall.

The sexual encounters are explicit, and drawn from life. The book was such fun that I recommended it to all my friends. Now I recommend it to you

What a wonderful collection of stories, 22 Oct 2001
Erotic. Blissfully erotic. The title was pleasingly misleading. I bought this alongside Boys of Swithins Hall thinkkiing "Ah well, short trousers it is", but it's short stories intead. Gay short stories. Gay short stories about teenage boys doing what comes so very naturally.

It was a tough book to put down. Compelling, yet each short story complete in itself. A book for a long lonely evening.

I wish there were more of such books in the mainstream publishers.

Hot guys in and out of sexy underwear., 10 Nov 2007
This is a book of gay erotic short stories tailor made by anyone turned on by guys in and out of bikinis, thongs, jockstraps etc. The straight guy in the tight bikinis turns out to have been egging on his locker room admirer all along. Two room mates live together for years before they shed their boxers and their inhibitions by the washing machine. A jockstrap tells all!

Right up my alley, 12 Oct 2007
I found it hard to get through the first part of the book (-2 stars). The ending is VERY good though, and rounds of the tale in a perfect way - enough to make me think about it a couple of days after (good enough for 6 stars). Result: 6 stars - 2 stars = 4 stars :-)
