'You Dear Sweet Man' by Thomas Neviaser is a speed-read treat that is funny, poignant, down-to-earth and other-worldly. We are first introduced to Bobby, a hang-dog, down-trodden Every Man, whose mundane, predictable life has left him exhausted, defeated and depressed. A chance encounter on his daily subway trip home soon transports him into a fantasy world he could never have expected.
Soon into the book we meet the remaining cast of characters: Bobby's dim-witted co-workers at the newspaper printing shop, his pleasant but bland family:wife Mary and the two girls; the fellows from Burger Blast, who are launching a new, health-conscious fast-food enterprise and the two computer geeks, Preston and Freddie, who create a ground-breaking, history-making ad campaign. And then there's Samantha...
This clever book is simply delightful and the quirky, unique plot will have you turning pages well into the night. The characters are well-developed (particularly Samantha), and Mr. Neviaser's writing is a joy. I loved his attention to the minute details of his characters' daily lives, such as Bobby's habit of brushing his teeth in the shower to save time in the morning, the description of the tiny 50s kitchen with the avocado appliances, yellow chrome table and chairs, his wife's irritation caused by the never-ending march of plastic-encased garments whirling around in the dry cleaner where she works, and the curse of Bobby's 5 o'clock shadow which appears promptly at noon day in and day out.
The introduction of the computer whizz-kids, Freddie and Preston, take us into their fascinating world of animation, holographs and geeky bachelor lifestyles.
The story is beautifully crafted, gaining momentum as we're drawn along and there's a wonderful, unexpected twist at the end.
Thomas Neviaser's little gem, 'You Dear, Sweet Man', is smart, sexy and an absolute delight. The book is beautifully written with top-notch editing. I hope to read more from this talented and engaging writer.

About the author
You Dear Sweet Man is a book that connects with and keeps you speculating
Life can have all the earmarks of being so average sometimes. We get up approach our timetables rest, eat, drive, work, drive, eat, sleep. The book generally oversees Bobby, an overweight and depleted man with a mindful companion and two young ladies. Bobby Fastow, the guideline character ends up capitulating to charms and running his own reality with his family. He finds his life depleting. He endeavors to uncover to his significant other that he is missing something yet can't actually figure out what it is. She uncovers to him that by far most feel that way now and then and doesn't show interest in helping the conversation. Thusly, it wasn't hard for Sam, an awesome woman in an ad for a drive-through diner, to beguile him on the metro. As the story creates, there is exceptional knowledge concerning the time frame and returning you on time. For me, it was a logical examination in how to be controlled when you are endeavoring to control others. There are lies, selling out, degradation all of the makings of an inconceivable book. This book is such loads of fun! I love that it carries us into the universe of publicizing. I like that the story streamed and held my benefit. In case you are one who likes extraordinary structure, you will esteem this book. Thus, I don't see how there is regardless that you could despise You Dear, Sweet Man. I favored it hugely!
