Every Nine Seconds: A Queer as Folk Novel

This is probably more of a two star, but for what it was (trashy entertainment) it was good.

Fans of the show may be put off by some of the continuity errors, but considering this was written two years before the show ended, I think most of the mistakes are forgiveable. The author gets the complicated relationship between Brian and Michael right, while hilariously getting characteristics about each wrong.

Overall, not the worse tie in novel I've ever read, but far from the best.

Do not be seduced by the idea of learning more about Michael and Brian as teenagers. There is nothing to justify shelling out hard earned cash for this novel. The writing is simplistic, the characters (despite being based on fully-formed existing television characters) are stilted and empty. The dialogue is unremarkable and the plot is predictable. Take rubinia's advice and catch this on LOGO or DVD.

As a confirmed QAF diehard fan of course I had to read it. Was just OK for a quick read. As others point out, there are hundreds of better fanfics on the internet.

Sounded like it was written by a sixth grader. I've read better fanfiction. Don't waste your time...stick with the show.
