Rating:  Summary: Laugh Out Loud Funny. Review: The author does an excellent job of following the main character?s exploits and jumping back and forth in time. The main character benefits from a large and well-developed cast of supporting characters. In effect, the author creates a community, which as the reader, you feel like you become a part of. I enjoyed this book because it captures relationships and romance throughout the life span. I enjoyed reading about the main character?s experiences as a child, teenager, young adult, and adult. Ryan Kaluzny captures the experiences at each life stage. He has written a book that is both funny but also captures a realistic view of the male experience of love, dating, and romance.
Rating:  Summary: A window into the past Review: From the title onward, '& Guest' comedically paints a picture of a young man balancing the comforts of friendship and family with the solitude experienced while searching for companionship. While everyone seems to have found love, the protagonist Randall, seems to always be the bridesmaid but never the bride. As sympathy (or empathy as the case may be) builds up for the main character, the author expertly injects laugh-out-loud humor into absurdly wacky scenarios that will take the reader back to past events in his or her own life. As such, the book takes on a life of its own and the characters morph from written word into envisaged reality. Highly recommend.
Rating:  Summary: Definitely an Original! Review: I loved this book! I laughed aloud at the main character's humor. It was so personal, I felt like I was right there with him in each situation. The structure of the book was unique and kept me on my toes as I tried to figure out how the chapters fit together. I highly recommend Ryan Kaluzny's book, and I look forward to the next one.
Rating:  Summary: Eye Opening! Review: A great book for those who are in a relationship but especially for those who are looking for a relationship (it would increase your chances of attracting and maintaining a good relationship). Every single and married person alike should read this book. It's an eye opener and definitely a helping hand to healing and beginning a healthy relationship. Even if you're currently in a relationship, this book will strengthen the romance and love you and your significant other share as you follow the main character, Randall, on his wild ride. You WONT be disappointed!
Rating:  Summary: ANTICIPATION Review: The author of this book is experienced and talented, as he describes the often funny/ unfortunate circumstances men in today's day and age encounter in their quest for love. Described a "sex in the city for men", it stands to be all that and more, exposing what men are really thinking in their on going search for "the one". While reading this book, be advised to have ample time, as you will find yourself yearning to learn what happens next. Revolutionary! This book stands alone in its true/honest depiction of love, reminding men everywhere that the battle of sexes is alive and well. I wait in anticipation for this author's next novel! (Or an " & Guest" Prequel)
Rating:  Summary: I laughed, I cried . . . you know the rest Review: I loved this book. Each vignette was cleverly written and entertaining. The author weaves these seemingly unrelated experiences into a well thought out and humourous story. Highly recommended.
Rating:  Summary: Clearly an amateur Review: I cannot figure out where all these 5 star reviews are coming from,maybe the authors friends. Heavy on dialogue is one thing, but this book, if you will even call it that, is 90% dialogue. Not to mention the fact that the author's bouncing around from one time frame to another without any clear rational is the least of the problems. It's almost like someone did a first draft in a couple of weeks, and didn't bother to do any editing. I read a ton of books, and this might be one of the worst I've ever read. The humor involved is tiresome, cliched drivel.

Rating:  Summary: Truly Reminiscent of Guys Lifelong Dating Life Review: Ryan Kaluzny paints a complete picture of a typical guys lifelong dating life, from elementary school crushes to the adult single scene. The characters and the humor hit so close to home I was cracking up. It was interesting because this book had me thinking about people that I have not thought about for a long time. Highly recommended.
Rating:  Summary: A Masterpiece Review: I laughed, I cried, I couldn't put it down. Ryan Kaluzny has written a tour de force that will tickle your heartstrings and keep you guessing till the end.
