So, I read this.I didn’t like it.I don’t think I will rate it, because it wouldn’t be fair to the author. It just wasn’t the book for me.This was recommended to me and I saw that so many of my friends loved it, I never looked at the blurb or read what it was about. If I had done that, I would have k...

2,5 stars.Without any atmosphere of the 80s. Melodramatic and unrealistic.After I have read some really great books about the AIDS topic, I am very picky in regard to it. Sorry, I didn't like it. Though the writing was Okay.

This is the kind of story that should be read by anyone who came of age during the AIDS crisis in the mid-80s, anyone who reads LGBT fiction, and anyone, period. Matthew Trammel is Auntie Social, a drag queen living in Atlanta, and a HIV/AIDS activist - something that's dear to him for reasons you...

Let’s Hear it from the Boy does just that giving the readers a full fledge story with a beginning, middle, and end in all of 46 pages. Paul Stewart from the Journal interviews Matthew Trammell, drag queen, kn...

Such a great story! You know it's a great book when it's only 30 pages, but it makes you feel all of the emotions of the characters and even makes you cry!

Well shit. That was abrupt. I didn't realize it was so short and more about a past relationship than a current one. It was really good though. Heartbreaking with a bit of hope at the end.

Beautiful, heartbreaking and stunning!Not many words can describe this book. T.A Webb has done a wonderful job delivering such an amazing and heart-wrenching short story. I was skeptical about reading this. I find these books don't normally appeal to me. But for once I saw why I should be a bit more...

I kept hearing how amazing this book was so of course I had to read it. Everyone was right. It was amazing. For such a short book it had a profound effect on me. I read this book following “Lover At Last“ and it wiped it from my mind. It was that good. I’m not going into details because I think you...

Wow...I had to take a breather before I could even comment on this book. Like a lot of people, it struck a little too close to home for me. So many people, like myself, who were coming of age in the late 70's through the 80's have had someone stolen from them by this disease. It stuck seemingly o...
