While I don't think they are THAT obvious to straight readers, gay men definitely pick up on it.Eric Arvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15003380162258465067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711013144267106251.post-17980748821271888842012-07-22T08:26:50.643-07:002012-07-22T08:26:50.643-07:00Apparently a lot of readers have been incensed by ...Apparently a lot of readers have been incensed by the clear-cut gay relationships in the HBO series, because they simply did not see that in the books. They insist it was added in by the makers of the series (because they've convinced themselves that gay sex sells?).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972818482054106157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711013144267106251.post-52444809873963152162012-07-22T06:34:06.890-07:002012-07-22T06:34:06.890-07:00The blond woman is an intense character, and she g...The blond woman is an intense character, and she gets some lesbian action too, at least in the book.

My friend keeps telling me to read John Green's Will Grayson, Will Grayson where one of the Will's is gay. She puts it in her favorite books but its very much a mainstream coming of age book.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17347728760357921438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711013144267106251.post-77222804954492041962012-07-22T06:09:53.933-07:002012-07-22T06:09:53.933-07:00Jennifer?

I"m scared if I read first I won't really like the TV show (as it usually happens). However, I did watch one or two episodes of the show and was kind of shocked at the gratuitous sex (to me). I was all ohhh well hello vagina. I still want to read them though. Disappointing about the m/m aspect though.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17347728760357921438noreply@blogger.com
