sarkamatty's review against another edition
3.0
Nejspíš je to vůči te knize nefér. Četla se až děsivě rychle a celé je to tak nějak velmi zdatně odvypravěné, jenže já se neumím přenést přes to, co v ní je. A vím, že to není chyba ani Eddyho ani té knihy, ale tyjo. Občas se mi z toho zvedal žaludek. A to ne jenom z těch explicitních a pro mě naprosto neuchopitelných scén, ale i ze všech postav. Nedokážu se do nich pořádně vžít protože mě všechny zároveň neskutečně štvou, ale taky je mi jich hrozně líto. A tak trošku potajmu doufám, že mi jsou nesympatické kvůli celému tomu nádechu trpkosti a podivného smutného cynismu, který tu knihu obklopuje, a ne proto, že takové opravdu jsou.
Je ode mě pokrytecké dát knize tři hvězdičky proto, že je mi z ní trochu zle a smutno?

"Being attracted to boys transformed my whole relationship to the world, encouraging me to identify with values that were different from my family's."
I sit here with my son in the park and he runs around barefoot like the other children. I remember I never liked to run barefoot, I had a fear of getting dirty. Just one of the many flashbacks I had while reading this book. A book that perfectly describes the pain of growing up gay in a straight world with a level of detail I wouldn't allow myself to remember.
Loved every moment.

It is an okay, somewhat interesting read, though I was a little underwhelmed after all the praise it has gotten.

larzan's review against another edition
It's the same thing over and over again. Poor boy in very bad situation. While I very much sympathize with the author and his true story, it is very repetitious. Just the same misery day after day.
