4.0 out of 5 stars This is a must read for young gays, and their friends, June 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Trying Hard to Hear You (Paperback)

Being a gay teen, i can relate to most of the issues that were presented. I've given my copy to friend's to read, and overall most people have enjoyed it. The perspective is great, because it's not like any other gay coming of age novel that i know of.... though it's a little slow to start, it does get better...

This review is from: Trying Hard to Hear You (Library Binding)

Fabulous. I'm so much in awe of this book. It's poignant, and realistic, and intensely, intensely moving. Scoppettone has successfully achieved a realistic voice for Camilla, which is very rare in a lot of books.

I really don't know what to say about this book, except it's a must read for everyone. If you're in the slightest homophobic, it's a real eye opener. In my opinion, it should be a text in every secondary school.

READ IT!

I thought this was an awesome book. It was so realistic and sad. I liked how the author really described every situation so completely. I loved it!
