Clay's Way : A Novel

Summary: BEST GAY BOOK EVER
Review: This is absolutely the best book I've ever read about being gay. Except it's not really about about being gay and I think people that aren't gay will love it too. It's so real and not political or chessy at all. There is none of that "coming out crap" and nothing about AIDS. This book is about a really interesting and complicated character that just happens to be gay. I loved Clay's Way. It was really involving and personal. Some of it was really funny. I haven't laughed out loud while reading a book in a long time. It really made me think about love and the importance of connecting with other people. It was cool to read a book that was about a gay character that was sexy, funny and true. I'm going to read it again.

Summary: Clay's Way
Review: This was probably the most unenjoyable book I have ever read. Inasmuch as the premise of the story was good, it was not developed at all. I do not understand the purpose of decompensating a young person from drugs, alcohol and sex.
I think it would have been much better to develop the characters in a rehabilitative state, getting together.
Very poor writing. Would not recommend the book to anyone

Summary: Disturbing
Review: Very well-written, although sometimes the narrative seems too adult to be coming from a 16-year-old. The tale is very disturbing; the main character is often out of control. Still, the events, however stark, are within the realm of believability. A good book.
