Andrew Hamilton was raised in a two parent home and received two contradicting messages from his parents. His mom taught him the importance of developing a relationship with God, not only knowing the Word but also following it. Andrew’s father demonstrated how a man should have one woman at home but many on the side. Which direction would he choose?
The first few chapters of the novel were disjointed and did not flow in a manner that was clear and understandable to the reader. Many details were given regarding the main character and his family, but the only family members referenced throughout the novel were his parents. Some of the sentences were repetitive, stating the same idea in a different way. The manner by which the Andrew’s relationships progressed were very similar; they all began with the females spending more time in his office and alluding to interest in a sexual relationship, excluding Staci. Some scenes were just not believable.
Also, the reader is left hanging at the end because there is no closure provided about what is written on Andrew’s back window. After reading the entire novel, to me, a better title may have been One Man’s Albatross or One is Never Enough. The original title doesn’t fit because Andrew is not a player; he is always getting caught or confessing when questioned by the females in his life. A true player’s favorite line is, “It wasn’t me,” and he always sticks to his lie—to the very end.
Despite the inconsistencies, overall, Anthony Maurice Brown had a great concept regarding the depiction of Andrew’s struggle between what he learned from his parents and his desire to be a good man despite the urges of his libido. - Sistah Rita
