Review: An entertaining trifle

To be honest, I'm a ways out of the target age group for this novel. I only bought the book because I've read some of the author's columns on a LGBT-interest website and I wanted to show him some support. But I'm glad I read it. I liked the lead character quite a bit. For the most part he sounded like an authentic teenager, although there were a few times when I wish the author had restrained himself from making one more quip or wisecrack. The story is engaging, if a trifle on the obvious side (it was apparent from the moment he was introduced who the protagonist was going to end up with, for example). The prose is well-written and largely free of the annoying typos and grammar problems that so many e-books seem to have. I would recommend this book to anyone and especially to those in the target demographic as a light and uplifting read. I would enjoy reading the further adventures of Collin and company.
