- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I have never read a novel by E. Lynn Harris. I heard about him for the first time through a podcast from the Philadelphia Library and he sounded like a very interesting person. He grew up in Arkansas in the 60s, which was in itself hard enough for a black boy, but he was also gay and had an abusive stepfather who wanted to beat the "sissy" out of him. I still think his story is basically interesting, but his writing style is shockingly boring. The whole thing just drags along, and sounds more like whiny reminiscing. I would not have been surprised if the guy was an actor, or baseball player, or something of the sort, but he was a writer! of novels! Now I'm not sure if I feel compelled to try some of his fiction, or not. It would have to be much better written than this autobiography!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fascinating story of ELHs upbringing. Haven't read anything to date by ELH that I did not truly enjoy from page one.
