Telling Tales Out of School

Rating:
Summary: For Everyone Who Went Through High School
Review: Regardless of your sexual orientation, even if you were just perceived as different or the oddball in the crowd, this book strikes a nerve. Everyone feels they had it bad until you read of other peoples journeys. I recommend this book to everyone. I don't look at it as depressing but it is comfort to know that as a small towm boy I was not the only one.

Summary: Excellent -- Jennings delivers again
Review: Telling Tales is an outstanding collection of moving stories about being gay in school. Kevin Jennings has proven himself as an editor with his earlier book, One Teacher in Ten, and he delivers again here. It is relevant to anyone interested in gay and lesbian studies and/or education.

Summary: Misleading, But Interesting At Times
Review: This book gives the impression that it has more to say. But it never really does. For some, it certainly will be a wonderful validation of a kindred type of experience. I grew a little bored with each individualized story that all to soon seemed to sound like the next. My purpose for choosing this book, was not fullfilled, I found it witty, even charming, poignant, but lacking.
