Kurzbeschreibung

Meet Garrett: 30-year-old computer geek, master of irrational optimism, and serial-kisser of women who (it turns out) don’t like him that way. After three blurry years of business travel and inadvertent celibacy, Garrett is so ready for a serious relationship that he’s a little bit dangerous.

Inspired by a romantic near-miss on a flight home to Seattle, Garrett hurls himself into the deep end of the dating pool, determined to find happiness no matter how miserable it makes him. Too bad the women he falls for don’t share his sense of urgency: Froot Loop sculptress April worries she’s warping his personality, cynical attorney Corinne suspects he likes her too much, and upstairs neighbor Meryl just wants to be friends.

Garrett refuses to give up though… well, at least until he does. But sometimes, after you’ve finally abandoned hope, you find that someone else hasn’t given up on you.


“With wit, heart and intelligence, Derek Gentry’s Here Comes Your Man reminds readers that you never know what is around the next corner or on the next page. Those who enjoy Nick Hornby will devour this book.”

-Eileen Cook, author of Getting Revenge on Lauren Wood

Fresh and Funny! 10. Mai 2010
Von cantare - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
In his first book, "Here Comes Your Man", Derek Gentry delves into the psyche of its main character, Garrett, the IT guy who seems to be looking for love in all the wrong places but for the right reason. He is very lonely. Bordering on self-loathing and boyish innocence, while weighing heavily on the former, Garrett pursues a half dozen relationships only to discover that his desperate longing for something to happen with each one is evident and although he tries to hide it, he scares away most of the women he meets. His self-deprecation gets the best of him and he sinks into depressive states after the breakups.

All of the scenarios are humorously described and beautifully crafted by the author. His descriptions of Seattle and Victoria leave the reader wanting to run there to experience them. Although one might consider the book light reading, the author writes in such a literary style, one wonders why he has chosen these bizarre relationships as his topic.

Gentry is a gifted writer, a very self-aware, attentive to detail craftsman. Just when he has written a perfectly vivid description of a situation or person, he reaches beyond it, takes it to another level, and completely nails it. From the very beginning, the reader empathizes with Garrett to the point of self discovery.

"Here Comes Your Man" is a witty but deep study in human behavior of characters who are quirky, funny, sexy, outspoken, and ungrounded. They fail to understand Garrett who is probably the kindest and most loving person to enter their lives.

Great Read for the Lazy Days of Summer (or any other time) 3. Mai 2010
Von J. Round - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
For all of us who can acknowledge those times when our enthusiasm finally overwhelmed our dignity. Here Comes Your Man is the perfect companion when you want to simply read a well-written and beautifully-constructed story of life. In this case, the life of Garrett- with all of its whirling, hip-shaking, arm-waving choreography that he really has no business attempting. My only disappointment was finishing the last page. A great read!

Love and friendship and Everything in Between 10. April 2010
Von K. C. Frederick - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
In his deft debut novel, Derek Gentry explores the tangled, often tortuous and occasionally wonderful mess of relationships among thirty-somethings in our time. While Garrett Anderson, his hopeful and hesitant protagonist soldiers on, not always gracefully, his story is told with assurance, wisdom and charity by a writer in full command of his material. We're in Seattle as Y2K approaches, where techies, temps and frequent fliers connect in acts of love, friendship and everything in between. A good read with plenty of dead-on dialogue. Get it!
