A Fun Story

Revisado: 09-01-24

Ok, this story made me laugh out loud at the ridiculousness of some of the characters. Not to give anything away, but just goes to show some people will believe anything. The story line got a bit convoluted in the end but still a very fun book to listen to. I recommend it for a driving trip when you need to be entertained and the distance is long. It's well worth listening to.

We'll Done!

Revisado: 11-10-23

I like short stories and this is a good one. It has an interesting premise, well thought out scene settings and interesting portrayals. Zachary Quinto does a excellent job as the narrator. The story leaves you wanting more but not feeling like you got short changed. To me, that's the sign of a good story.

I Hope There is More

Revisado: 11-04-23

I liked this third installment in the series. I wrapped things up nicely, but I really hope there will be more story lines to come.

A Heck of A Lot of Fun...

Revisado: 11-04-23

I didn't know what to expect when I purchased this book. I think it was the "cat" element that sucked me in. The story line is pure fantasy but it is so much fun. If you suspend your reality and go with it, you'll have great time.

I Had No Idea

Revisado: 09-08-23

This book documents the horrific assaults and murders of gay and bisexual men from the 1920's to present day. I knew that gay men were targeted for assault, theft and murder, but I had no idea to the extent that this happened. The victims were often seen as the guilty party, not the murderers. I was shocked but not surprised by the lack of empathy and common decency among the politicians, the police and the media of the time. I think this book illustrates that society hasn't progressed all that much. There are still people in this country that have no qualms about killing gay men or lesbians just because of who they are. Even worse is the treatment of Trans people and the violence they endure on a daily basis, even now.
The book is well researched and documented. The narration is top notch. I don't wish to sound alarmist, because progress has been made. However, this book should be a wake up call to Gay People everywhere. Don't take the gains of the last 40 years for granted.

Enjoyable...

Revisado: 08-18-23

I very much enjoyed this book. I wish that it might have been a bit longer, but that's a small issue. The narration was very good,I'm sure I'll read it again sometime.

Heartbreaking

Revisado: 08-02-23

I loved this book, but I almost couldn't finish it. It was so heartbreaking. The sweet natured boy just wanted to be loved by somebody. He wanted the affection that any human being would want. Tragically, his family would never provide it.
I did not have any problem understanding the narrator. I think he did a great job. His accent added to the story and made it more believable for me.
The Mungo's story is not a happy one, as a matter of fact at times it is horrific. However, life isn't always about being happy. Sometimes life is about surviving till you can make it happy. And in the end, maybe there is a glimmer of hope for the boy to be truly happy. For Mungo's sake I hope so.

A Sweet Gay Romance...

Revisado: 05-17-23

Ok, first off- this is not high art. If you're expecting that, move on. It is a story about a midwestern gay boy in NYC. He's got a soul-sucking job. -" I would've liked that thread fleshed out a bit more". A gal-pal that can't make up her mind about anything and expects her friends to do it for her. She expects her "gay best friend" to be the kind of "Gay" that can help her plan her wedding. He's not up to the task that at all. He has a old boyfriend relationship that ended years ago that he's still hanging on to. It stops him from finding a real relationship.
Also, the groom's younger brother is just about everything this guy could want- he might be a little too perfect.
Everybody in the story has their good and bad points. The love between the friends is truly solid. Even if they are a bit crazy. In the end, love finds a way. There are a lot of pop-culture references, you might want to brush up. I liked this story. It would make a fun read at the beach this summer. Light, cheery and sweet.

Gabe is a Dork

Revisado: 02-24-23

I can't wait to see where this story goes. The character Gabe is a big dork. I guess that's why I like him so much. I look forward to see where he goes next.

I liked the Story Very Much

Revisado: 02-17-23

This is a great start to a new series. The author should be rightly proud of his writing and of his narration abilities. Nicely done.
