Book Description
Bellers debut remains a completely fresh yet timeless collection of stories that beautifully evoke the bittersweet triumphs and turmoils of young adults. He weaves magic in 10 stories that vividly portray sophistication foiled by adolescent foolishness, lust dampened by ambivalence, moments of divine understanding matched by missed opportunities.

I'M SHOCKED AT HOW LITTLE RESPECT THIS BOOK HAS GOTTEN,
By A Customer
This review is from: Seduction Theory (Paperback)
Let me start by saying that I've met Mr. Beller and he's really not THAT attractive--so you can all start taking his writing more seriously now. I absolutely love this book and have read it over and over. I literally read books for a living and so rarely come across prose as sharp and stories that hit home as much as Beller's. There is something unflinchingly real about his characters and their situations. I had no idea that there was a backlash against his work until now, and I still don't understand why. Beautiful people can write beautifully. I just wish any praise Beller has gotten for his looks could be transferred onto his writing.

While not a huge fan of short stories, "Seduction Theory" contains several very good ones. All of the stories are interesting and cover a wide array of topics incluing love, lust, friendship, and family relationships. Add a star to my rating if you're from NY.

I love this book & am amazed by the backlash,

This review is from: Seduction Theory (Paperback)
I've had this book now since it was released in the UK several years ago and I have to say that I love it. Thomas Beller was a name I'd never heard of so I bought it on a whim and ended up so glad that I did. I've read it now six or seven times and each time I enjoy it as much as the last, maybe even more. Simple but beautiful writing, "real" stories of "real" lives, humorous in the right places and to see so many people criticizing the book because of Beller's appearance or how he was at school etc. amazes me. Who cares what an author looks like or who he or she is? If a book is good, it's good - period, and I for one wouldn't part with my copy. I give this one an unreserved 5 stars, and I look forward to reading more of his work.
