Well written. Held my interest exceptionally well. Easy to follow compared to Pt. 1. I await further installments impatiently. Mostly believable story line.
Well written chapter, better than the first. I thought you were trying too hard to impress the reader with your command of the English language in the first chapter, but it was still enjoyable reading. I think there was a mistake in this chapter where he is talking to Melissa from Hollywood (assumed by phone) and then hands her the envelope containing proof of his sterility?
I love the plot direction where he meets his old flame from college who is now the famous movie star. Looking forward to further chapters and I like that you have written a longer piece, as in some of your writings you rush through them a bit too hurriedly.

Chapter one wasn't fun to slog through, but the plot was interesting enough to keep my interest. Chapter two was "normal"...by that I mean your writing blended into the background and your story and characters became the read. It was nice to see the protaganist wasn't quite as stupid as he was initially portrayed and grew a backbone...taking the beatings with aplomb seems a little beyond his character...maybe he should have gone to the emergency room for some tender loving care...but hey, he's your character. If he grows into a James Bond, so much the better.
This chapter really rolled and lived up to the expectations generated in the first.
TU to Cro--
like a season long script for "Castle!" But it is good reading, and proves that there is some high degree of intelligence in early humankind.
Nor did the baby -
She was stupid in some ways - it appears - but unless we find differently - she likely did love him in her own inept way.
It's interesting that the shop keeper stayed silent for so long.
An excellent second installment that I couldn't put down. I'm looking forward to the next part.
