SUMMARY: The main character is a young man, a college 
dropout in his early twenties.  He has been making his 
living seducing older women, since he left school.  His life 
takes a rather dramatic turn the night that he meets Sylvia.

COMMENTARY: This story is divided into two parts, more or 
less.  In the first half the main character finds himself 
dominated by Sylvia and her assistants.  In the second half 
the transgender transformation occurs.

I found the first half to be quite arousing.  The pacing was 
great.  The main character is used to stringing women along, 
but he finds himself to be the one who is getting strung 
along.  He isn't quite able to accept this fact and yet he 
goes along with it.  I found this to be very realistic.

I didn't enjoy the second half quite as much as I did the 
first.  In particular, I have a problem understanding why 
the main character allows himself to be transformed.  Up to 
that point in the story he seems to allow things to happen 
to him without really understanding why.  At that point he 
has to make a decision; continue with a process that has 
already begun or return to his old life.  He chooses the 
former.  His mental state isn't entirely apparent.  One 
possible explanation could be that he says "yes" because 
that's what the author wants him to do.  He is drugged at 
the time, maybe that's why he says "yes," but that does not 
explain his acceptance of his new life.  Maybe I am just 
missing something.  Maybe, my problem is that I have a hard 
time understanding why a man would want to be a woman.  It 
isn't a fantasy of mine.  Maybe if I did fantasize about 
being transformed into a woman then I would understand why 
he accepts Sylvia's offer.

Anyhow, this is a very well written story, but if you tend 
to prefer romantic, vanilla stories then I recommend that 
you steer clear of this one.  If, on the other hand, you do 
enjoy transgender fiction or happen to have a strong stomach 
then I recommend you give it try.
