"Oradaki kim?" Diye sordum. "Ben," diye fısıldadı bir ses. "Senin için geliyorum." 1. bölümde bu satırları okuduktan sonra, bu kitabın baştan sona bir gerilim filmi olacağını düşündüm. Ancak, hayal kırıklığına uğradım çünkü hikaye ortada çok yavaşladı. Son, kabul edilebilir bir korku hikayesi olarak nitelendirilebilecek kadar iyiydi, ancak genel olarak kitap, beğenmeme çok yavaş geldi. Olumlu olan, bu Sunshine State kitabının kısa ve okunması kolay olmasıdır. (174 sayfa)
Read this before you see the play...
I think my favorite story was Cupid and Psyche.
This is a fascinating book. Werewolves. Love story. Modern day Los Angeles. Told in the style of Epic verse. It's nothing short of amazing.
Unusual. Liked it...made me reflect on how being a teacher gets you involved in others lives, for the good and the bad that that brings.
I've read a lot of coming-of-age, coming to terms with being gay/adolescence time-period books and memoirs, and I have to say this is by far my absolute favorite. This isn't a book just for gay people; this is simply a great book - period. It has some heartbreaking moments, and Wade's childhood certainly had some very low points. And like anyone else that's gay, it engenders that struggle that we all face. But it is a portrait of humanity more than anything else, and it is a novel we can all relate to. Anyone that has ever felt different, dealt with a trauma in their family, has a crazy family - whatever the issue, this memoir is just so moving that it would be amazing to me if most people cannot connect with it. One word of advice - if you can avoid reading the back cover of this book before you read it, DON'T. It actually has a very big spoiler on it, and I would have rather not known. It won't ruin the book, but I like to let things unfold. I absolutely loved this book, I loaned it to several people and they all felt just as moved. And yet it is completely hilarious as well, and a very uplifting memoir in the end.
It's deeply alagorical and satirical. You gotta know that going into it.
