Booty Nomad - Softcover
David has just dumped the girl he loved. But it wasn't his fault. Not really. She made him do it. After all, she was The Eater of Souls. And now she's buried in the relationship graveyard that is David's mobile phone directory - alongside Opera Girl, Bendy Girl, Ru Paul and Totem Pole. The only problem is, The Eater of Souls is still eating him up. He misses everything about her. Even her stubborn refusal to have sex with him because she felt like her dog was watching. We've all been there. Then along comes The Goddess. She's perfect: funny, attractive and, most importantly, single. Plus, she's got an amazing body. In short, she's every booty nomad's fantasy: she might just be the one. But The Goddess is, err, a Goddess - not so easy to catch and even harder to keep. And nobody is capable of screwing up the really important things in life quite like our booty hero. From the pathetic paranoias of the love-lorn to the cringe-worthy cock-ups of the love-struck, Booty Nomad captures modern life with perfectly black humour and dialogue to die for. It's the only thing you'll need to guide you through the booty byways.

From AudioFile:
David, a young Manhattanite and producer of children's TV programs, has just dumped his longtime love and is searching for a new one. Events humorous, touching, provocative, and at times implausible follow, peppered with monologues and dialogues both raunchy and hilarious. An original pop song following the story, though uninspired, clearly conveys the characters' emotions. Mark Feuerstein reads energetically, with excellent comic timing, but has minimal ability to distinguish voices, so we are often left wondering who said what. But the listener muddles through, and even this flaw is no reason to pass up this funny, engaging novel. W.M. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Book Description Paperback. Condition: As New. First paperback edition-first printing. Mint condition.Mcmillan,2004.First paperback edition-first printing.Paperback(two creases,nicks and scratch on the cover) in mint condition.The book is new with a couple creases on the edges of the first pages of the book and small nicks on the last two pages of the book.394pp. This is another paragraph From Publishers Weekly: Yet another hollow Nick Hornby knock-off, Mebus's charm-impaired first novel tells the story of David, a 20-something living in Manhattan who spends most of his time trying to get over his last girlfriend (the Eater of Souls, as he dubs her) while simultaneously looking for a new soul mate (You need to find another love of your life to eventually screw over). During the day, David pretends to work at a children's television show, but spends most of his time worrying about his fantasy baseball team. At home in his tiny apartment, he taps away at a screenplay (I think I would be a fantastic screenwriter), and every once in a while he practices his electric guitar by jamming through the wall with his neighbor. But for the most part David obsesses about women, the one he can't forget (his ex) and this week's girl of his dreams (the Goddess, who is on the rebound herself). Meanwhile, David's friends slack off at their own jobs, drag David to strip clubs and somehow still find time to ask the important questions concerning men and women: You gonna get some? Staccato pacing, tired references (Victoria's Secret, hot yoga chicks) and unfunny gags will lose most readers, despite occasional flashes of sharp urban observation. Mebus strives for naughty wryness, but winds up just sounding callow. Seller Inventory # 366
