Munter beretning om en paparazzo, en journalist og en videokameramand, der
pumper julemandens elsdyr for pikante historier, i håb om at score den
sensation de vil kunne leve af resten af livet.
Læst til læseklub, hvor vi med vilje have valgt noget let julesjov. Det lever denne bog op til. Den er hurtig og let læst og man bliver underholdt undervejs. Et godt bud på en underholdende julebog til voksne
Siden d. 4. august 1996 har jeg skrevet ned hver gang jeg har læst en bog, og er startet forfra med nr 1 hver den 4. august. Da det efterhånden er ved at være en del notesbøger, har jeg besluttet, at fra d. 4. august 2008 går over til blog i stedet for notesbog

28: Hvor er du smuk

ok
Henrik er færdig med skolen. Han bor alene med sin mor og hans onkel, Simon, er døende. Og så er han måske forelsket i søde og smukke Kjersti fra klassen.
En velskreven ungdomsbog, men efter min smag alt for kort. Jeg er ikke rigtig til novelle og lignende. Historien og personerne er ellers interessante, men jeg føler ikke jeg lærer personerne at kende, og har derfor meget svært ved at investere mig for alvor i bogen.
Lovende, men for kort

People aren't always what they seem to be. Sometimes we even surprise ourselves.
So discovers seventeen-year-old Russel Middlebrook in The Elephant of Surprise.
In this latest book, Russel and his friends Min and Gunnar are laughing about something they call the Elephant of Surprise – the tendency for life to never turn out as expected. Sure enough, Russel soon happens upon a hot but mysterious homeless activist named Wade, even as he's drawn back to an old flame named Kevin. Meanwhile, Min is learning surprising things about her girlfriend Leah, and Gunnar just wants to be left alone to pursue his latest technology obsession.
But the elephant is definitely on the move in all three of their lives. Just who is Wade and what are he and his friends planning? What is Leah hiding? And why is Gunnar taking naked pictures of Kevin in the shower?
The Elephant of Surprise includes Hartinger's trademark combination of humor and romance, angst and optimism. Before the story is over, Russel and his friends will learn that the Elephant of Surprise really does appear when you least expect him—and that when he stomps on you, it really, really Hurts.
En rigtig god afslutning på forfatterens bøger om Russel. Som altid i serien er bogen velskreven og man kommer ind under huden på personerne.

It's a horror-movie extravaganza in this, the second sequel to Brent Hartinger's gay teen classic, Geography Club. Two complete books in one recount the stories of best friends Russel and Min who sign up to be extras on the set of a zombie film and learn that there's nothing scarier than high school romance.
In the first book, Attack of the Soul-Sucking Brain Zombies, Russel must choose between his long-distance boyfriend and a close-to-home ex named Kevin who wants to get back together. In the second book, Bride of the Soul-Sucking Brain Zombies, Min struggles to accept her cheerleader girlfriend's decision to stay in the closet.
But beware! Russel and Min's separate stories affect each other in surprising ways, and you'll have to read both books together to find out the whole story
Rigtig god ungdomsroman. Jeg kunne specielt godt lide, at man fik to historier, der sommetider beskrev de samme begivenheder, hvorved ens viden om og syn på forskellige ting ændreres. Det gav en rigtig god effekt og gav ekstra dybde til personerne og historien

Summer camp is different from high school. Something about spending the night. Things happen.
Geography Club’s Russel Middlebrook is back, and he's going to work as a summer camp counselor with his best friends Min and Gunnar. He's sick and tired of being openly gay in high school, and a peaceful summer at Camp Serenity is just what he needs to relieve the stress that comes from being an "out" teenager
But he doesn't count on sudden new rivalries with Min and Gunnar, or having to chase after a cabin full of unruly campers. And he especially doesn't count on a fellow counselor as hunky as Web Bastion.
Things do happen at Camp Serenity, especially at night. Brent Hartinger's third novel is a story about Indian legends, skinny-dipping in moonlit coves, and the mysteries of a secret society called the Order of the Poison Oak.
En god efterfølger til Geography Club. Jeg kunne godt lide, hvordan at selvom de var der som ''voksne'' så var det i lige så høj grad udviklende for dem som for børnene der deltog i lejren.

But how can kids this diverse get together without drawing attention to themselves. Choose a club that's so boring nobody in their right mind would ever in a million years join it. Call it Geography Club
En rigtig god ungdomsbog med gode personskildringer. Man lærer de fleste af dem godt at kende. Men enten skulle den havde været længere eller der skulle skæres ned på personerne, for der er nogle af dem man kun lærer overfladisk at kende. Fx Ike. Så lidt flere sider til at komme rigtig i dybden med alle personerne. Men det er stadig en rigtig god bog, der beskriver det at være homoseksuel på en måde der føles meget rigtig. Som læser forstår man deres frygt og deres udvikling.
