Fascination and aggravation.

The author accurately describes himself as a neurotic wannabe novelist, and the listener is forced to endure his company in order to satisfy her curiosity about the Playmate search. There is a touch of maturation by the end of the tale, but by then, having spent so many hours enduring this young man's kvetching, it's a bit too late. Interspersed between his insipid personal problems are a few interesting glimpses into what runs the Playboy machine. Still, the audiobook kept me awake on a long drive as I alternated between fascination and aggravation.

Good one

Really enjoyed this one. I'm getting married and leaving all this behind. But it was fun to think about what you would have done if your were him for the trip.

A funny story, that was fun to listen to

This has to be every young mans fantasy, to be on the Playboy model search tour. The story is well told and really shows what life on the road with Playboy turns out to be. Like most fantasies, the real adventure turns out to be a different experience.

This is not my favorite book by any means, but if you need to find a book to listen to that will keep your interest for a long time, then you could do a lot worse than this.

Very Entertaining

If you like esquire, Maxim, Stuff etc then this is for you. An awsome book and a good read. the author is both entertaining and sarcastic at the same time as well as self effacing. Great topic and both interesting and somewhat tittilating. The last section is the best as the tour winds down and his love life winds up...... for all those guys who look at Playboy you will now have a different opinion!! a great listen!!

Decent book

When I DL'd the audiobook I wasn't sure what to expect. Ironically I didn't associate the "playboy" in the title with "Playboy" the Men's magazine. I must be an airhead.
Anyhow the book was surprisingly good. Not cheesy at all. It was interesting to hear the transformation of the Author/Narrator with all the experiences he had on the bus trip. I could personally identify and empathise with (aside from the parties with "Hef" at the mansion) in just being a man.
Overall a decent book--worth the DL. Definitely a "slice of life" book.
