5.0 out of 5 stars A Literary Supplement of Independent Value, 23 Nov 2008
By Ford Ka (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
I guess few people (but for the greatest fans of Queer as Folk - any version) will reach for the book. This isn't anything surprising and quite natural for a volume promoted as a follow-up or a prequel to the TV series. However, in this particular case it is a mistake.
The book obviously has special charms to the viewers who dreamed of nothing else but getting to know how their favourite characters had lived before the series started. Their appetites should be satisfied with the volume (and the other two) completely.
Yet the book has more to offer then an average tie-in. The characters taken from the series were used rather liberally her and almost as pretext for a decent novel about gay teenagers trying to cope with their homosexuality and to fight a place in the society where they would fit or at least be out of harm's way. Brockton manages to present them in a credible manner, inventing for them adventures which just as the TV series teach the reader tolerance for others and (should the reader belong to the others in question) ways of dealing with intolerance.
No matter if you found the book while looking for more QaF material or a gay novel - try to forget it is "just a tie-in" and give it a chance. It's really worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Queer as folk - back again, 31 Mar 2003
By A Customer
As a great fan of the original British QAF, I must say I was a bit sceptic towards the American version. But no, Mikey, Brian and the rest of them are great! It's a must for any true lover of the first series. If you've either read the Scripts or seen the series, then check this book out!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great prequal, 3 Nov 2005
I read this with a pinch of salt to start with, having waatched the first season already, but I have sice read it about seven times and am now reading it for the eighth. There's always something else that you pick up on in this book. I love the emotion that has gone into it and you can picture Brian, Mikey, Sharon and her "on-again-off-again" boyfriend, and lets not forget the two unrequiteds - Andy and Mikey, and Mikey and Brian. Reading this book was one of the most pleasing things I have done... A very good read and would say that it's a must if you want to get the background on the characters in the series.
