  • Cutting the Cheese on Jan. 18, 2010
    (no rating)
    Poor Luke Oliver. He is young. He is successful. He has just come out of the closet and has been invited to a meeting of the Gay and Lesbian Activist Association of New Birch and Sipsboro (GLAABS). GLAABS is gay political causus that while the gays and lesbians butt heads, the newbie members clearly go to the heirarchy of GLAABS by doing the meanial work of cutting and setting up cheese and goodies served at the meetings. It is not a pretty job, but you surely can get the scoop on all the members of the group. And a room filled with so many types of cheese gets pretty ripe after a while. Luke invited a date, but he will be late. In the meantime, he sees someone he has admired from afar. The hilarious banter between Gays and Lesbians will have you laughing out loud, as you will feel how out of place Luke is starting to feel. Perhaps just having Luke be Luke and not what an organization of clubbers turned partygoers want him to be would be the way to go. But Luke, like all of us, straight or gay, needs to find out for himself. Although I am into Mr. Patterson's wonderful Jade Owl Series and the companion Sister series, there has never been a book I've read of his that is not written to the T's and whatever the genre plain wonderfully good reading. An interesting experience to those of us uninitiated, but you'll love all the characters and be able to say you know some of them in your office, or church or, oh my! another organization you belong to! A fun read!
