Vinnie and Vuch were awesome! June 13, 2002
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
This was the story of two tough and popular football players who find themselves attracted to each other. In their rough and, I guess, brash football world, they develop an infatuation as old as time. They attend football camp together and come to terms with their feelings for each other.
The language is coarse and some of the descriptions are gross, but this is what my football and basketball playing brothers and their friends were like in high school. I think that S. Krol Joseph does an excellent job portraying these characters as real, tough football players. He also captures their sensitivities and their growing affection. I think the build of emotion is realistic and the self-doubt and denial is handled in a subtle and completely natural way. Also, the romantic suspense was beautiful. I could have hoped to hear more about Vinnie and Vuch after football camp, but I have to admit the ending was satisfying. I read the book in one sitting! If you like gay teen stories or romance, I think this is a must have and it will hold a nice place in my collection.
