Book Reviews of Here's What We'll Say: Growing Up, Coming Out, and the U.S. Air Force Academy
Book Review: Id really reccomend this book to anyone...
Summary: 5 Stars
I had no idea who Reichen was apart from seeing a few internet news items recently.He is a good looking guy so I clicked on a link that ultimately led me to see he had a book out.
As a secret gay male the same age I was really interested in seeing what he had to say as he came across as very genuine. I ordered the book from Amazon, ensuring confidentiality and avidly started to read it when it arrived a couple of days later.
Im really glad I did.
The book spends a lot of time talking about his experiences in the US air force and the pressures of being secretly gay, highlighting America's outdated discrimination against gay men and women in the military. It is well written, honest, often thought provoking and occasionally almost steamy!(well I thought so anyway!) It was a friendly book in so much as I found it easy to relate to in so many ways.Feelings and thoughts that I thought only I have were put across making me realise that it is not just me that thinks in certain ways and maybe I am not as bad/unnatural as I think and often feel.
I would really realy encourage people to buy this book and do a little internet research on the author as I have just done. He has achieved an awful lot in his life to date and is a strong spokesman and good example for Gay rights, something that until now I have known very little about.I have learnt a lot over the last few days reading and research and still have 30 pages to go,I will miss reading it, it really makes you want to get to know the author personally.
The book comes across as very personal, very touching and not at all preachy,a very good read.Well done Reichen.
