5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining page-turner!, February 10, 2002

This review is from: For the Love of Hatred (Paperback)

I read this whole book in one sitting and I am a very slow reader. I also recommend the CD-ROM version because it has author commentary. It's like a DVD with the director commentary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't Put It Down, January 17, 2001

By 

Gilbert March (Anaheim, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: For the Love of Hatred (Paperback)

I normally take several weeks to read through one book. This one took me only 2 nights. I instantly got wrapped up in the lives of the characters, as if I knew them personally. I think anyone reading this book would do the same. It was well written, in a way to keep you constantly thinking. I enjoyed it so much, I'd like to see a sequel in the future. I would highly recommend it to anyone, but especially to those who have become a little cynical about life (and love), or even a bit jaded. It might be good therapy for them.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Alternative Drama of Intrique, January 15, 2001

By 

Todd Bronson (Las Vegas, NV) - See all my reviews

This review is from: For the Love of Hatred (Paperback)

In the wake of Mathew Shepard comes a disturbing and loving portrait of gay courage. Courage to not only overcome the physical pressence of prejudice, but the courage to challenge the heart, accepting love into ones life when it is beaten down and silenced. "For the Love of Hatred" is a soul searching love story within the genre of a crime novel. It magnificently combines an intriguing crime drama with a heart affirming tale of love and relationships. Hearts and minds race to a thrilling climatic conclusion that is surprising and intense. If anyone is intriqued with the affairs of the heart, they should read "For the Love of Hatred". It is a beautiful piece of alternative drama and fiction.
