Would Chaz — who we know is crushing all kinds of pussy — really put up with Roni's childish temper tantrums when he could easily find another woman who's just as beautiful and more agreeable?

I had been meaning to buy a some Len Levinson titles for a while and finally bought two of them, <i>The Bar Studs</i> and this one. I figured <i>The Fast Life</i> was the "less disgusting" book Levinson had written as Cynthia Wilkerson, hence <i>Sweeter Than Candy</i> was my first choice.

Always entertaining and fascinating! I'm going to look for both SWEETER THAN CANDY and THE FAST LIFE (I almost wrote WIFE!) in my local used bookstore. Thanks much to both of you.

However I still think THE FAST LIFE was better than SWEETER THAN CANDY. Different people can read the same novel and have entirely different opinions. I thought Roni was a likable and even lovable character, perhaps because I admire ambition and total dedication to causes.
