About this ebook

Traumatized after his fathers mysterious suicide, twenty-nine-year-old Scotland native Stevie McDonald begins an irresponsible and dangerous foray into the dark world of alcohol and sex addiction. Stevie, a former rugby and football player is on a downward spiral initiated by the guilt he feels in not being able to prevent his fathers tragic death. Plagued by nightmares, Stevie looks for answers and comfort from the bottle and, as a result, regularly blacks out from his excessive drinking. In a desperate attempt to shock Stevie into rehabilitation, a childhood friend and electronics guru designs beer gogglesfashion eyewear complete with a miniature camcorder that documents Stevies every moveboth in and out of the bedroom. Stevie is finally convinced to try the goggles after waking up one morning next to a redheaded stranger whose name he cant remember. When Stevie is finally able to view the embarrassing, random, and sometimes violent alcohol-induced events on his laptop, everyone crosses their fingers and hopes for the best, but only time will tell if Stevie can win the battle over his inner demons and turn his life around.

...the ending is non-existent. Wilkinson does a decent, if sometimes obvious, job with dialog and description, and then just when you think the last couple of pages will provide a moralistic payoff or something, it just ends on a twisted, negative note to which it didn't seem to be leading up. No, it doesn't manage to be artistically ironic.
