Summary: A Gay Story for Straight People
Comment: Reading this book humanized gay men for me, in a whole new way. I had many gay friends before, but this was different. It's as if Monette reaches out to his straight brothers and sisters and, while not hiding ANYTHING, makes us understand that there's nothing to be afraid of from gay men, or from art, or even (gasp) gay male artists! We all really want the same things in life; to be reconciled with our families, and to be loved for who we are.
Please read this book. As a love story, and a thriller, it's fantastic.
Rating: 4
Summary: A gripping, life affirming and funny page-turner.
Comment: Initially, I thought this was going to be a weepy, grim AIDS-related drama. The big surprise is that it's anything but that. Smoothly written, it vividly captures its Southern California setting and populates it with characters you care for. Heartbreaking and very funny.
I didn't want it to end.

Summary: If I was a man, I would become gay now....
Comment: WOW, I'm seventeen years old now, and I swear, Paul Monette's "Halfway Home" is the first book that touches me to tears. When I bought this book, I thought it would be just an ordinary "gay-story".I started to read without big expectations, hoped that I don't fall asleep(I often become tired while reading boring stories)and the more I was surprised: After four hours of reading without any interuptions I realised that I fell in love with "Halfway Home". I'm deeply impressed how wonderful Paul Monette discribes the growing love between two men, their feelings and their life together. I have not been confrontated with homosexuality or AIDS yet, and so this book opend my eyes. In May 1999 I will pass the matura and for one of my special topics I chose "HIV and AIDS". I love this book!!!!I thank you, PAUL MONETTE for a few lovely, romantic and also sad hours.
