Customer Review - Rough Gods

Rough Gods - By: Michael Alago - Review by: Harry

Just picked up this small book of photographs and was real excited when I opened to find some hot hung men...book is cool and unconventional in that there are flowers juxtaposed next to men as well as famous gravesites. Very cool Marlene Dietrich grave stone. She was a goddess. All in all mostly HOT men and a fun book to give this season as a stocking stuffer.

Customer Review - Boys Of Bel Ami

The Boys Of Bel Ami - By: Howard Roffman, Reviewed by: VermontBob

I can't imagine any photographer revealing more of the boy within the man as has Howard Roffman in these photos. They top everything he has done before. The photos are printed on beautiful, thick paper that will ensure long life of this wonderful book. My only regret is that I was not there as he shot these images!

Customer Review - Strings Attached

Strings Attached - By: Nick Nolan, Reviewed by Pancho from Los Angeles.

This is a wonderful book, full of colorful yet believable characters, clever plot twists, and life-like adolescent angst that had me reliving my own struggle with becoming “a real man.”

Nolan’s novel moves at a quick pace and is a complete pleasure to read. The subtle thread of the Pinocchio tale that weaves through the story adds a fairytale aspect that easily engaged me. With each chapter, I felt more connected to story. The author has a talent for creating vivid characters speaking realistic dialogue. I felt that I knew the characters, and on occasion, was the character.

A great first effort, and hopefully, not the last.

Staff Review - The Charioteer

The Charioteer - By: Mary Renault, Reviewed by Jake (WH)

One of the greatest gay love stories, set against the backdrop of a WW I army hospital.  Beautifully written and disarmingly haunting.

Staff Review - Trouble Boy

Trouble Boy - By: Tom Dolby, Reviewed by Mike (WH)

Just when you think you're reading yet another gay club kid novel, Dolby hits you with one sucker punch after another.  Think "Catcher in the Rye" meets "Sex in the City" meets "Queer as Folk".
