Goodreads has an entry for this book, but no synopsis. On the other hand, if you've read any of Kent's other books, you'll know what to expect. I'm not saying they're all the same - they're not, although there are only so many variations of schoolboy erotic activity available. Kent tries to get around this problem by setting his novels in different centuries and by varying his boys' backstories. He also, as in Beautiful Dreamers for example, uses his characters to put forward varying points of view on the issue of man-boy love, a subject obviously close to his heart. All this helps to make his novels that bit more attractive, and stand out from the general run of BL fiction. Having said that, his writing generally concentrates on boys having happy and carefree connection with other like-minded boys. And that's fine.
I think he's a decent writer who has been very badly served by his publisher in terms of editing and proof-reading. While a poor-quality PDF makes the job of anyone trying to produce an ebook very difficult, at least if there were fewer inconsistencies of plot and continuity, as well as fewer grammatical errors and simple misprints, the job would be less unbearable. I've corrected the more glaring mistakes and typos, but as a matter of principle, I like to leave an outhor's work unaltered, so some incosistency will be noticeable.
Finally, with an OCR so full of the usual impossible-to-catch-them-all errors, you will almost certainly find the letter 'c' in place of 'e', 'v' for 'y', 'L' for 'I’' and so on and so on. Those are all down to me, and I can only say in my defence that life's too bloody short to spend a month ruining your eyesight on a single book!
I hope you enjoy the adventures of Donny Cameron, as you follow his formative years at Bruce Academy, along with his friends Eric (ten inches and ten seconds), Alan, his first love, and Leslie, the love of his life, still at his side twenty years on at the school reunion.
