Query: An offensive buttful of drivel

This book has no redeeming value. As a gay man, I found nothing in this book to identify with or even recognize. It is as if Mr. McGeehee is writing an academic thesis instead of a novel. The characters are shallow to the point of being one-dimensional. Not one of his better ones. I realize this opinion is contrary to the previous reviews, but frankly I couldn't get past page 50 anyway.
