Never Tear Us Apart

This book, like the first (Every Nine Soconds) is and interesting look at the younger, before the Showtime TV series of the charactors and it stays true to there identities. Brian the one always in control, Michael; the hopless romantic, so innocent and fragil, and Emmitt so colourful and lively. I can't wait to read the next Book (Always Have, Always Will). Hope there are more on the way.

This book is just as good as the first. I read "Every Nine Seconds" in the bookstore and found it interesting as to know why Brian is the boss of everyone and Michael is forever young. This time the boys are separated going to different schools. Michael is adjusting to community college, coping with his uncle's illness, experiencing romance, and making new friends. Brian, meanwhile, is having the time of his life joining a fraternity (which I can't believe!), playing soccer, and screwing anything that wears pants. Newcomer to Pittsburgh Emmett Honeycutt brings a great amount of color in the novel with his Southern charm. He is a great friend to Michael when Brian isn't around. Lindsay appears in the novel as a straight lady who can get any man's attention. Quinn Brockton sheds some light on the characters of the cable series bringing forth their personalities and differences and how they come together. I can't wait for the next book.

Like "Every Nine Seconds," this latest installment in the younger lives of the Queer as Folk characters follows suit with the personalities and characteristics we love so much. It delves into the lives of the characters as they grow up together and meet one another in the first year of college. The author has done an excellent job in capturing the spirits of Michael, Brian, Lindsay, Emmett, and Deb. A must-read for any devoted Queer as Folk fan!

After reading the first Queer as Folk series book, I wasn't impressed. It didn't keep my attention and lacked greatly in detail. However, I highly anticipated the next book in the series, hoping it would be better than the first. I was pleasantly surprised after I read Never Tear us Apart. It had a captivating story line and I wasn't bored within five seconds of reading it. It delved depper into all of the characters and gave some insight into why the characters are like they are on the show. I reccomend this book to people who like good fiction and are fans of the show. Unlike with Every Nine Seconds, you won't be dissapointed.
