Reviews of Lissa Brown’s Another F-Word:
“Bulls eye on several levels, as a coming-out/coming-of-age story, a lesson on damage caused by bullying, challenges faced by educators trying to encourage diversity and tolerance, and how parental priorities have to evolve with a gay or lesbian child... Five stars out of five.” —Echo Magazine

“Educators and advisors should read it. Parents should... Young adults should, especially if you’re questioning your sexuality. The book might answer some questions and help you.” —Ambush Magazine

“Excellent job portraying the challenges gay boys face as well as those of a loving parent trying to understand and accept... depicts the rejection, bullying and outright hate gays and lesbians face and shows how family dynamics can influence the adults they will become ... teenagers and adults would benefit from reading” —Midwest Book Review

“Delivers excellent dialogue about homosexuality, teenage suicide, and coming out across three generations ... The characters are treated as compassionate, open-minded individuals ... educates people about dangers facing LGBT youth.” —UNITE Magazine

“Succeeds on several levels. Shows the effects of parental bigotry and vicious treatment of a child, and offsets that with love and support from other family members and friends.” —PFLAG.net

“Page-turner which will take your breath away ... realistic portrayal of a family and rural community coming to terms with the emerging sexuality of one of its most vulnerable citizens ... about the pain and consequences of bullying in our schools ... for any parent whose child
has been the victim of bullying.”
—Mountain Times
