1) Paperback Book Strings Attached by BookSurge Publishing. Strings Attached has proved to be one of my all time favorite gay romance novels. It is extremely well written and is a compelling read. I could not put it down. I enjoyed it so much I bought Double Bound.¤

2) Paperback Book Strings Attached by BookSurge Publishing. In the first chapter I stumbled on a couple of errors in both grammar and word-usage that almost made me toss this great story aside. Something, however, hooked my interest and STRINGS ATTACHED turned into a compelling page-turner. It is a very enjoyable read, and I found it nearly impossible to put down!¤

3) Paperback Book Strings Attached by BookSurge Publishing. I just finished reading `Strings Attached´ for the second time last night, and I´m just as curious to know what happens next as I was when I read it over a year ago. The writing is fast paced, and has moments approaching some of the best literature I´ve read. Nolan has a gift for description, so you can really see what is happening in the story. I especially loved the scenic descriptions and the relationship between Jeremy and Arthur, and how many surprises and twists there are toward the end that I absolutely didn´t see coming. The Pinocchio theme is subtle, so you can read this and enjoy it with or without knowing the references in the story. I loved this book, and can´t wait to buy the sequel (when is it coming out???)¤

4) Paperback Book Strings Attached by BookSurge Publishing. I just happen to stumble across this book and found it to be a quick read. The storyline flowed easily and Mr. Nolan made the characters likeable.¤

5) Paperback Book Strings Attached by BookSurge Publishing. ´Strings attached´ could be so much more. The plot is very charming, but the lack of strength in its writing makes the whole story seems like a bad-concealed re-telling of the Pinocchio tale -a thing the writer himself stresses in the foreword, which I thought was unecessary.

Sometimes, you can see right through the writers´ intentions when he writes something down (such as making some elements close to the puppet´s story) -and that´s it. You have no depth of meaning that could entice you to future re-readings.

But, sure, the characters are very easy to relate to. That much is to be credited to Nolan.¤

6) Paperback Book Strings Attached by BookSurge Publishing. From BOOKS TO WATCH OUT FOR by RICHARD LABONTE, Volume 4 number 1 - Adolescence is a hazardous way of life for 17-year-old Jeremy Tyler; his father died in a mysterious accident when he was a child, and his mother has since descended into alcoholic hell and forced rehab; that´s when he´s sent from the Fresno slums of his childhood to the posh estate of his overbearing great aunt Katherine and her censorious husband - liberated from an economic prison, only to land in an emotional one - and is overwhelmed by the change. It´s not easy for him to fit into the upper crust, particularly because he´s trying to hide how much he´s attracted to other boys. Jeremy´s story of breaking free from the strands of dishonesty, deceit, and self-doubt has its parallels to the tale of Pinocchio, but Nolan´s queer take is totally contemporary: think the TV series The OC - girls with mean cheekbones, well-built guys with snotty attitudes, and Jeremy in the role of a queer Ryan Atwood. He´s a good-looking kid, with a sleek swimmer´s physique - and the swim team´s champ is out to get him. He dates one of the smart-set girls in an attempt to keep his gay hormones at bay - but that doesn´t do him much good. Nolan´s debut novel is a kitchen sink of genres - coming of age, coming out, mystery, romance, erotica, even a dash of the supernatural - that add up to an impressive story about the passage from boyhood to manhood.¤
