and Egotistical Make a Poor Excuse of a Man
In If There Be Pain, Gloria Mallette writes a tale of a man who thinks that he has his life under control.
Kyle thinks that by giving the ladies who he uses as sex objects gifts, he is doing alright by them, and that they are getting a deal.
After all, he his very nice looking, Kyle does not respect any of the women in his life, not even his mother, He emotionally and physically deserts his mother when she needs him most, When his Native American grandfather, who has always supported him, becomes ill and is no longer of any use to Kyle, he makes himself scarce , leaving his grandfather feeling abandoned.
Everyone, from his parents to his friends, has tried to get the selfish Kyle to grow up,
After his grandfather dies, he is plagued with nightmares and visits a tarot reader to try and find out the meaning behind the nightmares.
The tarot card reader tries to warn him, but Kyle still refuses to examine his life and does not believe that his women could have a problem with him.
Kyle was so selfish that I wanted to jump into the book and shake him, I could not find one reason to like Kyle nor could I like any of the women in this book.
Hated characters make for memorable books, but I do want to have at least one character to sympathize with but I found none in this offering.
But, on the other hand, I did enjoy reading this book, Women that have potentially selfish sons would benefit from reading this novel maybe it could help to steer them in the right direction.

its a suspense filled bookbook:The Honey Well really good books Kyle Lawson has everything a beautiful house in Brooklyn, a successful business and more women than most men encounter.
Yet marriage is nowhere on his horizon, despite pressure from his mother and several of his girlfriends, But just when Kyle thinks things couldn't get any better, his life takes a turn for the worse a whole lot worse.
I really wanted to like this book, While it was very well written, I couldn't stand
the ignorance of its main character, The arguments were annoying amp too long I mean, if you're on the phone amp you don't want to hear what the other party has to say, you hang up, right.
There were no grey areas in the characters, They were either arrogant amp selfrighteous or dumb amp dumber, While I love Gloria Mallette's writhing style, I hated too many of the people in this novel to be able to enjoy it.
I wish I didn't. But I did.
The plus side of this experience: This novel is no longer in my massive TBR pile, Good book
