1.0
Honestly, terrible character development and pacing. The jokes arent enough to make this a palatable book and in fact make it even worse sometimes. It started out stronger and then took a nose dive very quickly, this is 100% a cash grab book and by that I mean the author took other popular books and smashed them together and put a shitty coat of spray paint over it
All the Young Men by Ruth Coker Burks
1.0
This book made me cry but I have to wonder exactly how much of this is manufactured as it sounds like a lot of it is. Additionally, the entire second half of the book surrounds a couple of people that do not seem to have been compensated for his and his partners stories.
Reading more about the author and the Files family (& how, apparently, no one owns that cemetery. That is a complete falsehood, additionally it is a very small parcel of land) and an interview with one of the men who was the focus of the second half of the book.... I cant recommend this book to anyone.
Read another book on the AIDS crisis instead
