This is the first book I have read by Felice Picano. The two 1/2 star rating that I give to this review does not in anyway reflect on Mr. Picano's talent as a writer. He obviously is a very gifted story teller. My objection to this novel is much like the reactions some of the gay community had to the film "Cruisin" The violence and narcissim in this novel does not reflect my experience as a gay young man in the 1970s. There were such people like Noel and Eric like that I am sure but when at the end, the character of Eric says "We Won". I kept wondering what the heck was it that they won? ( )

So, das ist spannend. Und sexy! ( )
