Customer Reviews of Boys Like Us
My favorite gay books I am putting together a list of gay/lesbian books for teens. This had been among my all-time favorites; when I saw it was still in print, I knew it had to go on the list. Like Weetzie Bat and its sequels, Boys Like Us fits into an American magical realism movement. We lost a leading light in literature with the death of McGehee. Fortunately, Doug Wilson, McGehee's lover, completed the Boys Like Us/Sweetheart series with Labour of Love.
An offensive buttful of drivel
This book has no redeeming value. As a gay man, I found nothing in this book to identify with or even recognize. It is as if Mr. McGeehee is writing an academic thesis instead of a novel. The characters are shallow to the point of being one-dimensional. Not one of his better ones. I realize this opinion is contrary to the previous reviews, but frankly I couldn't get past page 50 anyway.
A wonderful and positive gay male voice
The best of McGehee's warm, humorous works, this piece gives an unsentimental and sometimes harrowing look into lives disrupted by AIDS--or, perhaps more to the point, into the lives of men who refuse to let their lives be disrupted by a virus.
