Timmy's Review of You Don't Know Jack by M.C. Lee

This is a book that I didn’t think I would like at first, but it proved me wrong around the fourth chapter. It was hard to get into, because it was so totally different from anything else I had ever read. This turns out to be one reason why I really liked the book. Once I was able to get a grasp on what was going on, I had no problem putting myself in the main character’s mind. I threw myself into Jack’s point of view and I LOVED the story after that. I could totally relate to Jack’s feelings...

Timmy's Review of Geography Club by Brent Hartinger

This story had great characters that were very believable. Every character in this story could have been a kid I went to school with. The average gay boy trying to hide and stay just there on the line between popular and bullied, the gay jock that is scared of being outed, the friend that would do anything to be popular, the lesbian that hides her relationship, but is proud of it as well, and the boy nobody likes and was always bullied and abused. 
The feelings that Russell displayed were...

Acedia and the Dangers of Apathy and Willful Ignorance








I’m really scared today, it’s been a long day already and it just turned 7am. I had to wake and deal with a family that doesn’t understand me. They say they do, and they say they will protect me, but they look at me different then the they do each other. They send me off into the world that doesn’t understand me. As I wait by my bus stop, my stomach ties itself into knots. I...

Timmy's Review of Last of the Summer Tomatoes by Sherrie Henry

Though I’m not sure I would call Kyle emo, he was into darker clothes and had long hair, and he was an awesome artist. He took the blame for the larger part of a crime to save his best friend, and ended up going to a summer work program to keep his record clear. While there, he fell in love with the farmers’ son, Sam, and they started a romance.
Sam was the typical boy next door kind of guy. Cute, outgoing, and friendly. He had a much more ideal upbringing then Kyle did, which lead him to be...

Timmy's Review of Private Display of Affection by Winter Sandberg

Kevin and Hugo’s relationship represents what I imagine many kids their age go through, but their personal stories are very unique. I’m not saying they are the only two kids with an overbearing and strict father, or a parent that is dying of cancer, but this is the first story I have read that had these aspects mixed in a story. Winter did a really good job telling their stories. From what I understand this book was originally an adult book adapted to YA. I have never read the original story,...

Timmy's Review of Catch My Breath by M.J. O'Shea

Okay this is an OMG! kinda book! Before I start my review, I want to write something to the author. She may never see this review, but on the off chance she does, I want her to know this. If I hadn’t read the About The Author in the back of the book, I would have sworn you were a 19 year old gay boy band member! I, of course, don’t mean that in a bad way, but you were able to really get the thoughts and emotions of Danny and Elliot perfectly. I’m really looking forward to reading more of your...
