Summary: Nearly Roadkill Is Nearly Good
Comment: Nearly Roadkill, by Caitlin Sullivan and Kate Bornstein, attempts to explore issues of gender and how that affects perception and expectation. Told mostly from the point of view of a teenage boy named Toobe, it follows the story of two genderless web users, Scratch and Winc, who keep meeting up in various chat rooms. The freedom of the online environment allows them to explore what gender is and how it affects their relationship. One night they might be a boy and a girl, the next two women, the night after that a vampire and a young woman.
The book succeeds in exploring the themes of gender and how everyone is affected by it, as well as how perceptions can change based on one's gender. The story, however, is almost nonexistent, with a too perfect ending. By revealing Scatch and Winc's genders, the point of gender exploration is somewhat negated. To make matters worse, the font is nearly impossible to read and there are too many graphic cyber sex exchanges, which detract from the book's message.
If you are looking for a study in gender roles, this book will serve your purpose. However, if you are looking for a book with a storyline and well-developed believable characters, Nearly Roadkill is not the book for you.

Summary: RoadYawn
Comment: Well, pretty boring, all in all. Politically correct mixed sexuality (yawn)... different typefaces (yawn)... lots of yak yak yak. About the only interesting thing is that it is somewhat different from the normal run of... well, abnormal whatevers. Should we be intrigued, at this point, by gender flexibility? Hey, why not... although that was a lot more radical when S. Delany did it in Trouble on Triton, a loooong time ago....
