review 1: This book surprised me and disappointed me - it was my book club book for this week. In the beginning I was surprised to find out how much I was enjoying this book - it's a quick easy read, and the author totally draws you into his relationship with everyone that surrounds him - grandparents, mother, neighbors, and friends. Then as the book progresses, he gives less and less detail. There was almost no detail of him coming out, then all the sudden (SPOILER) his grandmother dies and it's over. It was so abrupt. I felt like halfway through he got tired of writing this story and gave up. Was okay - not amazing, but entertaining and light. Good for the summer.
review 2: This book started as the author's memories of growing up in a RICH household with his grandpar... moreents. (Their 5th Ave. apartment was 19 rooms on two floors overlooking Central Park.) It briefly talked about how he decided he was gay and ended with his decision to never contact his mother again when she did not tell him his grandmother died in a nursing home in Switzerland. It was interesting but never really seemed to know what it wanted to be. less
