![]() Now, for the part everyone thinks is dark. Of course their are some ups and downs-they get scared about being in the open and worried about predators for example. So it's an adventure novel!! You follow their journey through the hills and the rivers a d listen to their stories and how the rabbits see their world. So the whole story is about Fiver, a runt, having a sixth-sense and leading a small group of rabbits who believe him away from the Warren and out to seek a better one. They say Watership down was meant to be an adults book, but the writer actually made up the whole story to entertain his two young daughters during a long car ride, and it was his daughters who convinced him to get it published! It was written like poetry, the words were so beautiful, and the rabbits had their own myths and legends and I loved listening to the clever tales. I read the book aged 10 and I absolutely adored it. ![]() ![]() Okay, so I know when everyone hears "Watership down" they immediately think dark and sad and other negative things, but please please please just hear me out because the truth is not like this. ![]() ![]() ![]() Not to say they're all perfect, but they all kept me turning the pages and not skipping ahead to the next one. Purely as a short story collection, it's probably one of the best I've ever read in that I enjoyed all of the stories, none of them fell flat for me. It really made me wish ACD had tried his hand at one or two stories involving gay clients just to be able to compare, but this collection is a fine substitute. Everyone clearly did their research on late-Victorian gay culture (or at least, has found all the research I have on the subject, so it meshes with what I know!) so none of them felt anachronistic. While offensive today, it was the more progressive stance to take in the 19th century. are themselves gay, other times they're just sympathetic/open-minded, which doesn't feel out of character for an eccentric like Holmes or a doctor like Watson, whom ACD himself would presumably give his own views on homosexuality as a psycho-medical condition, not a criminal offense. ![]() Nothing explicit in any of the stories, they're all mostly variations on "Holmes is brought a case by someone who turns out to be gay/lesbian and the case relates to a relationship of theirs." Sometimes Holmes, Watson, and/or Lestrade etc. But I just read a friend's copy of A Study in Lavender and found it delightful. The Well-Educated Young Man is a novella, published in the Lethe Press volume A Study in Lavender: Queering Sherlock Holmes, edited by Joseph R.G.

True to its origin as a Web comic, this story's clear, concise lines and expert coloring are deceptively simple yet expressive. Jin's hopes and humiliations might be mirrored in Chin-Kee's destructive glee or the Monkey King's struggle to come to terms with himself, but each character's expressions and actions are always perfectly familiar. The fable is filtered through some very specific cultural icons: the much-beloved Monkey King, a figure familiar to Chinese kids the world over, and a buck-toothed amalgamation of racist stereotypes named Chin-Kee.

It felt like two-thirds of the way through the book before I became really invested and found myself actually wanting to read.

I almost gave up reading it several times, but there was just something about the story that kept me intrigued, however minimally it was. Overall, it’s basically a more mature (more gay) Sky High.The beginning of the novel was exceptionally slow.
