Summary: Definitely makes you think
Review: I picked up this book when I was starting to write a story about two lesbian teenagers to do some research, to find out what might be going through these girls heads, and it sent me on my own path of questioning my sexuality. Before reading this book, I was adamantly straight, but after reading it I saw myself in several of the characters. Some of my favorites are Ellen Howards 'Running', Nancy Garden's 'Parents' Night' and Gregory Maguire's hilarious yet touching 'The Honorary Shepherds'. Some of the author's in here are very well known, like M.E. Kerr, Nancy Garden and Francesca Lia Block, others I'd certainly never heard of, but I'd recommend every story in the book to anyone with an open mind.

Summary: very helpful book
Review: I recieved this book and I found it very helpful to see this wide variety of people in it, talking about love and life and living and dicovering ones own self. It's a must read for so many people. It's just beautiful.

Summary: I checked this book out of my school library
Review: I'm a 17 year old senior who has known my sexual identity of being a lesbian since I was about seven years old. I loved AM I Blue this is a great book, and it ensure you that you aren't the only one out there. Although my school has 3 gay and lesbian clubs it's always nice to know there are books out there to enjoy while supporting the GLBT community.Myla

Summary: Helped me out
Review: Reading this book helped me to figure out who I was, that I am gay. I'd been wondering for years, literally, but afraid to decide and not really sure either what it meant, but one day, at the North Shore Library this book caught my eye and the next day after reading it I came out to myself. I've never been happier. I didn't have to go through the long process of feeling alone and abandonded, wondering if I was the only one in the world. This book helped me skip over all of that. If you've been wondering, or if you just want to see - get it...

Summary: Every school library should have a copy.
Review: The stories in this book are diverse, sometimes funny, sometimes serious, sometimes both; but although they are not preachy, there is a message that underlies all of them: you are not alone. I highly recommend this book for use in high schools -- it handles the subject of homosexuality in a variety of ways, from many points of view, so that anyone can find something they can identify with. "Parents' Night" made me cry at the end. Twice. And I never cry. The title story is hilarious. Yes, it's an allegory, but it's a funny allegory. Great for kids who are gay or questioning, and great for kids who aren't.

Summary: Overall a great book!
Review: There are some stories in this book that are absolutely phenomenal. "Am I Blue" is one of them, and it is a great first story of the book. This books helps people to understand what it is like to be GLBT from many different viewpoints. "The Honorary Shepherd" is probably the story that impacted me the most, as it deals with interracial relationships as well. Having bought this book on accident, I am glad I did. I've probably read the book 15 times through and I don't know if I'll ever tire of it.

Summary: A Great book for Anyone, regardless of sexual orientation
Review: This book is a great collection of stories. Some are funny, some serious, but they are all about GLBT young adults. This collection is a great read for those exploring themselves or even those comfortable with their sexuality, whatever it is. It teaches us that we are all human and share all the same thoughts, gay or straight. A great book!
