Title: Just awful
Product review: I read this book after hearing some very negative reviews from friends. Gee, I thought, it can't be *that* bad. Well, it was. First of all, Brite is a pretentious writer who tries to sound far more profound than she really is. He prose are overly flowery and annoying at times. Second, she's a name dropper. I hate authors that feel the need to sound cool by always referring to bands and such by name when it really has nothing to do with the story. Third, her representation of the gay community is offensive. They are all depressed, nymphomaniacs drug addicts with AIDS devoid of any morals or ability to love. Apparently all gay men wander around just looking for one night stands and have sex with any person they find. Rubbish. Horrid rubbish. Fourth, please Brite, have a little creative thought. It's one thing to base a character on a real person. It's quite another to just write about a real person and change their name. Seriously.This is just a bad book any way you look at it.
