Summary: Great Novel!
Review: Leaves of Red and Gold is the best gay fiction I have read in a long time! The main character is exciting as can be, and the supporting characters add to the depth of the story. It is a quick read, one that you will thoroughly enjoy and will tell your friends about! I recommend you order...order two and give one to your friend! It is a great book for straight and gay alike!

Summary: Gay Men, Gay Love, Gay Inspiration!
Review: This novel is one of the best that I, a voracious reader, has read in the last several years. The timeline from the disco era to the present presents the exotic and arresting life of the first gay attorney general in Massachusetts. Matthew Schipani is a gay man's dream...sexy, intelligent, compassionate, and full of passion! The tales of his love life are only rivaled by the tales of his professional life. The protagonist, as with every great novel, is one that evolves throughout the story, but his evil and downright fear that the author instill in you as you read, does not come out until it is too late! If you want to escape to the Berkshires and to Boston in your mind, and read a wonderful life unfolding before you on the pages, pick up Leaves of Red and Gold at your local bookstore or right here online. You will be fast and furiously going through the pages and won't be able to contain yourself when you are done! Great job, great story, great ending!

Summary: WOW!
Review: What a novel! Leaves of Red and Gold is an excellent piece of fiction and I agree with the reviewers on this site that it should be made into a movie! Hello HBO! I bought this book and read it in less than three days (I even snuck in some pages at work)...I couldn't put it down! The scenes are so well written that I can see myself walking the Harvard Law School campus with Matthew, the main character. The book has many light moments along with its dark and very thrilling moments. It is so interesting to watch Matthew go from being a child abuse social worker to a great legal force! His relationships with his various boyfriends are also well done, and show that men can love other men in honest, open, and very deep fashion! I also very much enjoyed the ensemble of characters supporting Matthew in this novel. They are well developed and I can see them all in my head, which tells me that this book is well written. This is why it would be perfect on the silver screen - it is not predictable, it is fresh and new, and it will capture all! I agree with the reviewers that I hope Mr. Chapman is working on his sequel...more quality work like this and we may have a new Tom Clancy on our hands!
