5.0 out of 5 stars classic 1950s with a twist, April 17, 2007

This review is from: Beebo Brinker (Paperback)

First things first, I'm still in the process of coming out...

Secondly, I have been a bookworm ever since I can remember. I grew up reading the likes of Nancy Drew and Babysitter's Club (Ann M. Martin) and daydreaming about the heroines, wishing they weren't straight.

I am so happy I found this book. I absolutely loved it. It was very descriptive, from the pizza place to her night watching the girls dance.

I could not put it down until there were no more pages left to devour.

The characters were strong & deliciously human.

I wish I knew about this series when I was a teenager; I would have gladly snuck over to whatever side of town just to get to these books, hid them underneath my mattress with my diary...

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best of the 1950s lesbian pulp fiction novels, May 6, 2002

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beebo Brinker (Paperback)

Beebo Brinker is a one of the best of the lesbian pulp fiction novels from the 1950s, and is here reprinted in all its original steamy charm and vivacious energy. Sensual, with a timeless insight into love, lust, and relationship conflicts between women, Beebo Brinker is an enduring title as erotic and compelling today as it was when its was originally published some fifty years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lesbian Pulp Fiction at it's finest!, June 22, 2001

By 

Holly R Eaton (Deer Isle, ME USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beebo Brinker (Paperback)

Although not a very difficult read, this book glimpses into the lives of gays and lesbians during the period before Stonewall, and the sexual revolution. I felt that it was a very interesting way to learn to about the lifestyles of gays and lesbians during that time period, and on top of that it was a great story that makes you want to read it from cover to cover.
