Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It made me laugh outloud, want to cry, couldn't put it down
Review: From the very beginning I was impressed with the way the author used his words to magically transport me into the book, my mind could see with great realism the actual settings and surroundings. The characters were a great group of friends and enemies. In one chapter I openly gasped when a certian individual fell and not to give the story away felt his pain and anguish. I can't say I have had these emotions in all the other books I have read. The story may be a satire, but, when finished "the message" applies to each of us in some way.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty good!
Review: I lived through Ballot Measures 8, 9 & 13. It was interesting to see those times "fictionalized", and fun to play "spot-someone-you-know".

At first it seemed fairly derivative of Tales of the City, but as I got further in the characters got more depth, and now I'm disappointed that the promised sequel doesn't seem to be out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tales of the City redux
Review: What an engaging read! Olson does a great job developing a quirky cast of characters who live in a gay enclave of Portland, Oregon.

I had a really tough time putting this book down once I picked it up and began reading it. It's not often that gay fiction holds my attention as well as Queer Corners.

I'm hoping that Olson rewards his readers by writing a series of books featuring this same cast of characters.
