Title: Well-intentioned and often funny, but spotty
Review: A well-balanced child is raised by an eccentric, gay uncle in the wake of controversy and tragedy: Who but the most intolerant could argue with that storyline? But good intentions don't always make for good writing, unfortunately, and this book tends toward flat, unrealistically presented stereotypes and too-convenient plot devices. But the title "uncle" is indeed a character -- if not likable, a clearly drawn funny, outspoken CHARACTER. A cute read if you don't take it too seriously and expect more than is there.
