Book Reviews of Latter Days: A NovelBook Review: Satisfying Summary: 5 Stars
This book was extremely satisfying--like good sex that only comes along once in a blue moon. So few books actually "go" somewhere, but this one does. The writing style and brilliant execution are on the same level as McCrae's "Bark of the Dogwood" (though the two books have nothing in common plot-wise) and some of the steamy scenes in this novel will set you twitching (think, some plots in lesser gay novels that are unabashed in their desire to please), but the overall effect is worth it. It's obvious that the author is a writer of movie scripts (uh, this is actually a compliment here . . .) because he certainly knows how to weave a story that will keep you interested. Highly recommended.
Book Review: A delicious slice of a young male's acceptance of reality! Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderfully easy, stimulating, and captivating read for a beach goer, Palm Springs sun worshipper, airline passenger, or any other gay male willing to delve into others' realities and be captivated by a smoothly-flowing writing style which, via cool, consistent plot development, concludes with an emotional wallop that had me tearing. I've not seen the movie, but the book has stimulated a very strong desire to see it on my home surround system with my same-sex mate with whom I bonded in 1977 and have maintained an outstanding monogamous relationship since then. Bravo to Cox!!!
Book Review: Predictable and I loved it Summary: 5 Stars
Predictability is not always a bad thing. The book followed the exact path that most romantic comedies do, yet the way that Fabris and Cox wrote it absolutely pulled at my heartstrings. I found myself caring for the characters, especially Lila, and ended up tearing about what happened to another. I laughed, I cried, I blushed, and still knew that the plot was the same as it ever was. Sometimes a story so beautifully written can take you to a place where knowing the ending leaves you satisfied. And I, a self-proclaimed jaded cynic, found myself satisfied.
Book Review: A Page Turner Summary: 5 Stars
The story is touching. Once I started reading, I couldn't put the book down. The book was well-written, and there were times when I really felt the emotions of the characters. I also found myself worked up with my own strong feelings in certain situations. Throughout the reading I also learned a great deal about the Morman culture, and their views on different issues. This was a great book and I strongly reccommend reading it.
Book Review: Great Book! Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this book. The tranformations of aaron and christian are amazing and beautifully depicted. Though the story is not a surprising one, the character development is great. I would recommend this book to others & then send them to see this movie. There are some stellar performances!!!
