Dream of a Waking Man by John Goode
5.0
On principle alone, this garners a well deserved 5 Stars!!
There’s not much to say except that if you haven’t started this series, then go do so right now. I think this really puts into perspective that even though social views and beliefs have progressed leaps and bounds, there’s so much more needed to be done, to just realize how much further we all need to go regarding basic decent humanity and the acceptance of every single person who exists.
For those of you who are caught up, this is not an installment to miss nor to put off either. Kyle and Brad are all grown up, and although they’re still trying to find some solid footing in their lives (they themselves are rock solid), this is a great story seeing them come into their own as adults with limitless potential that is destined to make a huge difference. At the center of that is their love which gives them so much strength to do the amazing things that they do, and it’s quite beautiful to witness.
Goode never ever skimps on harsh reality, but he eases the way with plenty of snark, fun, and emotional weight that is just so impactful. Our strife here on earth, basically everywhere, is because we cannot accept others for who they are, who they worship, and who they love, and it’s a sad sad reality that breaks my heart. Goode shows this tragedy but also gives hope. Please spread the word and be moved and inspired by his works to fight bigotry and hate. This is not an easy series to read by far, but it’s a damn good necessary one.
