 Rating: - A Great Read!!!Wow! Ms Garden does it again. It has one thing in common with Annie On My Mind - Annie and Liza (AOMM) and Janna and Kerrie (Good moon Rising) both have there ups and downs of their relationship but unlike a lot of lesbian stories the relationships are still as strong as ever at the end of the books. Ms Garden has a good writing style and has good strong characters. If you liked AOMM then you'll love Good Moon Rising. Even if you've not read AOMM you'll still love Good Moon Rising. Rating: - Nancy Garden's finest...Having heard so much about Nancy Garden, I ran right to the library and got Annie On My Mind. The book was wonderful and very educational about the emotional aspects of a young lesbian partnership. So naturally, when I heard about Good Moon Rising, I went to the library to get that as well. I finished it in a period of three hours, never putting it down once. This has to be one of the most well-written, true-to-life, amazing books I have ever read. It comes straight from the heart and, at some points, made me cry. As a fifteen-year-old lesbian, I can't even begin to say how much I relate to this story. Many thank-yous to Nancy Garden for her fine writing. I would recommend this book to anyone, gay or straight, to remind them of the ...

It opened my eyes and my heart. Rating: - Required reading for homophobesI loved Good Moon Rising. I read Annie on my Mind, first and liked it, so I decided to read more Nancy Garden. AOMM was as great book, but the late 90's perspective that we have makes it seem rather dated. I think that a juxtaposing the two books shows us how far we've come...and how far we still have to go. In the last ten years, great strides have been made, especially in high schools. But, I know, as one who came out as a lesbian my Sr. year of high school, homophobia makes simple things such as dating and relationships very difficult. Everything about this book rings true....the girls' feelings of being "different", the intimate scenes that are handled with such delicacy I'd let my mom read them....coming out. I think ... Read More: Rating: - Probably the best book I've ever read!I wish that I could give this book more than five stars, because it certainly deserves it. After reading "Annie on My Mind", I was thrilled to see that Nancy Garden had written another book about young lesbians. I hoped that it would be as good as "Annie" and I was not disappointed. In fact, I liked it better. The characters seemed more real, and it was much easier to relate to the situation they ended up in. I read the entire book in one night, and started reading it again the next day. It is beautifully written and very eyeopening. This book isn't just for teenagers that are questioning their sexuality, but for everyone. If you want to know what it is like to be young and gay, this book is probably the most accurate depiction ... Read More: |
