Review from Rainbow Reviews:
"Turning Idolator is filled with excitement, strippers, murders, books, romance ~ what more can we ask for?
All the characters have their own quirks which not only make them extremely interesting but also very lovable. Philip, who has been wronged, ends up in the porn industry trying to make a living by taking his clothes off. Then he meets Tdye, a well known author at the peak of his fame. And what happens? Well, as they say, sparks fly here!
There is so much emotion in these pages, it made me laugh, made me sniff and at some points take short walks around my desk. Look out for the 'Moby Dick' quotes and the hidden meanings. There are fishy things going on here and you don't want to miss them.
This is a book that pulls you in ~ Patterson's story is a catchy one and as the author says 'life can be a bloody thing' but ohhh, so good. The plot is so charmingly good plus the mystery will keep you on the edge of the seat, so go read! A roller coaster of emotions fills this story and the end will make you Weeep!

Emotionally distraught after finding male pornography in her sons room, Philip Flaxens mother shares her discovery with her husband. Ashamed and disgusted with this revelation, Philips father disowns his son, kicks him out of his only home, and warns him to never return. Philip turns to his only friend, Robert Spraque - Sprakie who takes him into his apartment. Sprakie introduces him to the seedy world of adult internet sites where Philip can get work by baring it all in order to stay off theTurning Idolater is a mystery, love story, homage to Herman Melville and a lot more. It's beautifully written and put together, with compelling characters (I dare you to not like Sparkie) and almost hypnotic insight into their lives. Both red herrings and clues were sprinkled masterfully through the novel - a true joy for this mystery fan. It will not be for everyone, but I laughed, I cried and, yup, loved it. If not for editing errors and some unnecessary drama near the end, this would have
3.5 starsI read this for the M/M Romance Goodreads group's 2012 Book Bingo. Oh what can I say...I literally had to drag myself through most of this book. Okay, first, it's a literary book, which means fancy prose. It's beautiful, but soooo slow. And I mean serious pacing issues. The blurb doesn't indicate this writing style and neither does the topic (an online stripper). Second, the descriptions were way, waaay too long at points. It really slowed down the reading and I think it could have gone
If this book had been half as long, I think it would have been twice as good. The last 90% or so was excellent. Most of the rest... I'm not sure what to think. The writing was odd, and I'm not even going to attempt to give it a rating. Imagine Herman Melville writing Great Expectations, perhaps.
2.5 stars. There's a great story here, a Cinderfella/Pretty Woman mash up set in contemporary NYC. However, the writing style was just not to my taste. I understand the writer's intent, I do, and I admire him for sticking to his guns. Unfortunately, I'm just not that into Melville. If I wanted to read endless purple prose, complicated similes and people talking like they're in a 19th-century Romantic adventure, I'd read a book from the time period. The constant allusions to the sea, the endless
Yeah not my writing style.
