Purchase options and add-ons

In LeRoi a rather ornery but 'successful-in-life' character finds himself stranded in the middle of nowhere. His fancy MG has allowed him to limp into a gas station with a diner-cum-motel on the other side of the highway. Subtly layered in symbol and metaphor, one soon realizes that the simplicity of this novel is only skin deep. The old mechanic, a study in laissez-faire and cool disdain, tries the patience of our hero. As a matter of fact, all members of the cast including the Queen who rules the diner, the pretty waitress and the lanky fast-order cook are highly complicated human beings. The enigmatic and moody old Chevy half ton pick-up truck Malcolm Clay borrows is unreliable, but does grant him the freedom to escape the confines of the motel and the frustration of his broken down MG. 'Ol' Reliable' guides him over a cattle guard, a mysterious unseen gateway into sanctuary, the oasis of a river that cuts through this otherwise barren wasteland where he can cast a fly into adventure-and misadventure-yet beyond that, healing waters for the soul. Could this perhaps be a modern day model of a questing Perceval and the Grail Legend's Fisherking? Full of magic, humor, and hope, Malcolm Clay must still wrestle with the demons of inner conflict in order to be freed from the burdens of the past and restore his inner kingdom to prosperity. Only time will tell if Malcolm is able to form the famous question-'Whom does the Grail serve?'

5.0 out of 5 stars The Paradox of Love
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2008
This book will challenge your perceptions on male sexuality and male identity from start to finish. If you think you know what goes on in a man's head, Mel Mathews is going to surprise and shake you.

"Being a warrior is not just about vulnerability, it's about absolute vulnerability", Socrates says to Dan Millman in the movie "The Peaceful Warrior". Malcolm Clay is a man who is all about breaking down his walls of protection, little by little, until he finally sees his bleeding heart. Once he sees his heart, he is faced with the paradox of love: how do you love someone if you can't begin to love yourself? How do you let someone in when you can't find the door to your own heart?

Mel Mathews is an author unafraid of giving it to us straight. Without embellishing love or turning it into a world of fantasy, the reader is forced to ask herself question after question regarding her own satisfaction in love. You are sure to discover aspects of yourself while reading this introspective book, and if you encounter some skeletons in the closet, don't be afraid: this is precisely what Mathews wants readers to experience, a cleaning of their own love closets in order to make room for something fresh and more fulfilling.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thanks, Mel Matthews
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2005
This is a story of a man who is not afraid to be who he really is. Its authenticity and vulnerability made me laugh, cry and wonder if I also have the courage to live and authentically be who I really am. A good read that is painfully sweet,honest and hopeful. Thanks, Mel Matthews. I look forward to hearing more from you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2006
I've read many books that take a long, very long, and winding road to make a point. Even then, the point isn't always made, leaving the reader, me, to depend on the strength of the story to entertain. It's seldom that a book effectively does both, i.e. make a point, and in the process, entertain. Mathews', LeRoi, is an exception. Written with great style, Mathews' has painted a portrait of life as it is lived, not as it is imagined, making for a realistic and compelling read.
