2.0 out of 5 stars The Queer Painter, Jan 22 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Painter Knight (Mass Market Paperback)

A very good story plot ruined by the all-too-constant attempt to persuade the reader into sharing the author's view that homosexuality is normal.

This review is from: Painter Knight (Mass Market Paperback)

I would give this book, in comparison to all of the other Fiona Patton books I've read thus far, an 8 on the scale of one to ten. However, compared to books in general, I would give this book about a six or a six point five. The reason being that the plot is so-so, and too cookie-cuttered to hold interest for long. The details were saturated with cliches, and the descriptions of things too thin. I don't know how to explain it, except to compare it to using veggie broth blocks instead of an actual chicken when preparing chicken noodle soup--it tastes different. Basically, too much of what's said in Paiter Knight has already been said a million times by other people decades before.

This review is from: Painter Knight (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a wonderfully written book that has beautifully portrayed characters. Its presentation of homosexual love is sensitive and not mocking (people in this universe do not care about sexual orientation - the people are bisexual). It has a fine mix of humor with seriousness. This book can be read alone from the other books in the series (the books are standalones within the same universe), and is probably the best in the series (although The Stone Prince completes for this honor).
