Narration In Pursuance Of Books The Vast Fields of Ordinary

It's Dade's last summer at home. He has a crappy job at Food World, a "boyfriend" who won't publicly acknowledge his existence (maybe because Pablo also has a girlfriend), and parents on the verge of a divorce. College is Dade's shining beacon of possibility, a horizon to keep him from floating away. Then he meets the mysterious Alex Kincaid. Falling in real love finally lets Dade come out of the closet - and, ironically, ignites a ruthless passion in Pablo. But just when true happiness has set in, tragedy shatters the dreamy curtain of summer, and Dade will use every ounce of strength he's gained to break from his past and start fresh with the future.

Judge Of Books The Vast Fields of Ordinary

Having just read a badmediocre gay novella that was more porn than anything else, I read this book in two daysbetween work and sleep and my second anniversary celebration with the most wonderful man in the worldand it completely wrecked me. For one thing, I couldn't stop reading. That hasn't happened to me for a long time, for a book I've never read. I literally did not want to stop reading it, not even to go to bed.The story is engrossing from the start, and while it is not perfect (because

This novel is about Dade Hamilton's last summer at home. He goes to parties, goes to work and meets a few friends. The boy he's fooling around with pretty much dumps him and he meets a new boy named Alex who he falls in love with.Okay, I liked this book overall but there were a lot of things I didn't like about it. I think there were too many side plots going on and none of them were really developed at all. The whole thing with Jenny Moore was weird, and didn't really have anything to do with

This was probably the worst LGBT book I have ever read. Here's why;1. The drugs.I have no huge problem with topics like drugs and alcohol in YA. But when you practically promote it and make it out like the norm, etc "Oh, and I smoked another joint,". The main character in the novel, Dade, is constantly smoking marijuana. His parents seem okay with it, and his mother even says "I'm okay with it every once in a while,". What? What?His boyfriend, Alex, is a freakin' drug dealer for chrissakes. It's

Actual rating: 2.5 starsThe Vast Fields of Ordinary isn't really a terrible book. I just feel so emotionless after reading it. I just don't care. It was easy enough to get through. At first it was kinda boring but things picked up once Dade met his friend Lucy. Something about the writing was nice and Dade was a fairly likable character. He kinda acts dumb at times but whatever. Also, what was the tragedy mentioned on the back cover? Some random kid that he didn't even know disappeared? Kind of

I could not finish this book. I could not take any more of Dade and his random crush for the handsome guy who sells weed. Dade had a bad breakup with his not-boyfriend, so when he sees Alex, its lust-and-love at first sight. Hes obsessed with him, and when Alex doesnt call him (although he said he would), he whines and whines and whines. Hello, you could have reached him yourself if you wanted to talk to him so bad, dear. I understand that Dade was lonely and really, really needed a boyfriend

A good read. When I started it, I prepared myself for a long and bitter tale of closeted suburban hell. Dade's parents are splitting up, his hot closeted boyfriend is a selfish asshole, and he has no real friends in school. Thankfully things go up from here. The summer after he graduates he meets up with Lucy, a spitfire lesbian who becomes his bff. She's awesome and gives him the emotional support he's been starving for. Dade also meets Alex, an adorable drug dealer who's crazy sweet and is

This is another Y/A novel that sets the standard of a boring and trite approach to the genre and one that follows the same trope of gay youth need to suffer to evolve. The book begins with Dade, a 17 year old closeted guy scrawling a middle school-esque Name + obsession on the inside of a bathroom stall, during, all things prom. This sets the stage and the obvious atmosphere for the novel. Here we go again, I thought; another sad guy whom of course is going to get all self-injurious on his
