Summary: Rats! This Book Stunk
Review: I bought this book without knowing anything about it. I wasnot disappointed, in fact I was amazed. This book so touchinglyrelates the experiences of gay men and lesbians in regards to their famlies. I feel like sending it to the parents and siblings of all my queer friends. They need to know what it means to have family love withheld from a child for something that child can not change, nor should need to. The book is a good read. I enjoyed the stories of Rita, David and Killer. They are characters who will stay with me. The last chapter is haunting. I need to find someone to discuss it with.

Review: Interesting blurb and sale price helped me decide to buy this book. It was boring and did not live up to the hype. Not wirth more than $2, so if you see it in the dollar bin, then that's the only time to buy it.

Review: Rat Bohemia articulates one of the simple truths behind the complexity of lesbian and gay experience - the overpowering need for parental acceptance and the lifelong pain and coping necessitated by its absence.
