What really can you say it was better than a Christmas hallmark movie.

I don’t expect much from these books

The writer was actually smart. The fiction is much like the reality happening now.

With another more intense revolution brewing against the conservative radical thought, it was actually a relief to read this book. It gave me a break.

Listening to Stormy Daniels trial with that aging obese man on trial. This book reminded me even powerful men die. That wisdom and knowledge will prevail.

There can be a happy ending even for gay men.

I just needed to be reminded. I had to reminded how being a victim of the police department in the 90s in New Orleans almost destroyed my life. I had the 50000 to get out of the charge. People need to remember. I liked the book. I fortunately was able to live the same fantasy. (The current Louisiana Republican platform sends us back to the 50s. Read that. )


The book is what it is. I needed it. Hopefully Netflix will pick it up.

Read the book. It is worth it. This was hard for me.


As I said there are many layers the author writes into these characters. Unfortunately I knew these people


Basically I loved someone and that someone felt he did not have a choice about his life. I knew I did. No communication ever. Nothing during the Boston scandals. AIDS. Homosexuality. I pray he wasn’t alone.

I accidentally downloaded this book. Every chapter was painful.

Read this and revisit the crossroads of your life. You will without a doubt question the loneliness of your own life



Actually the only chapter I needed was the last one.

It is one of the great gay novels.

I understood it. There are paragraphs you will want to memorize.

The introduction of his life was great. I can see why it was written the way it was. Many people are lost and struggling but I don’t see those people buying this book.

I don’t know what I was expecting. I didn’t realize this was a self help book. i don’t understand the audience for the book. There were many more topics to cover.


I wish he would have made it clear that this is a guide for the gay people of this country to define the clear value of who they are. I wish the last chapter would have been a continuation of the introduction. These are the steps that have given my life meaning. These are the battles I have fought.

The book needed more of his story.
