the book reads like it is from the author's life. he not only described what it is like to be a kid, and a gay kid at that, but he also tells you what it is like to be "not like the rest." i mean, this skip, he's so white! i didn't believe it was about a black kid until i got introduced to the family, which got everybody coming out of hte woodwork...but then, i got to remember that he is from a very priviledged family. it blew my mind to such a degreee that it seemed to me it could have only been written by somebody who knows those things from the inside. and his publisher is right: if you are tired with the "black people" you see on bad t. v., this book gives you a different light. at my school, i showed it to a couple black kids who really related to this guy, even if he is so "white." all in all, they admired the book, and what the writer did to capture their lives. hell, he captured my life, adn i am just a gay little white boy!
