Rating: 5 out of 5

Where to start in reviewing "Breaking Out" by Garry M. Tuckwell.  There are two things that immediately stand out; first, is Peter's gift of the double bed at the end of the story and second, Mr. Tuckwell's dedication to "Simon."  Simon and Garry sound like two very lucky gentleman.I enjoyed this story.  Yes, there were some editing errors and sometimes it makes for difficult reading.  I find no fault with the author for these.  The story was thoughtful, realistic, and charming in many ways.  Should we all be so fortunate to find the loves of our lives at the tender age of 16?  This is the romantic element I love about this story, and I am all about romance.Coming out in the 70's and the son of a minister, I empathize all too well with the bigotry and arrogance of Niall's parents.  It's sad that there are many young people that are subjected to this kind of thought even in this year of 2013.  Unfortunately, that is something that will probably never change.  I support the manner in which Niall dealt with his parent's prejudice.  In a quiet and unassuming way, Justin's father Peter grew in his own way.  The gift of the double bed was a testament to how far he had come in accepting his son and his son's partner.  I was really touched.As a side note, I have to say the individual who gave the story a 1 - star rating, I was completely baffled by what you were trying to say.  It made no sense and it seemed you were more intent on writing something for your own reading pleasure.  You really did the author a disservice with the incongruity of your review.  This is first time I've ever commented on another reviewer but please, just what were you trying to say?  Better yet, never mind.Well done Mr. Tuckwell.  Looking forward to reading more from you in the future.
