A review by floatinthevoid
Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg

dark tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

I would've been crying rivers if only the plot wasn't so excruciatingly boring. Yes, the work is significant in Queer Movement history. But that was it. The main character is so annoying i don't even know where do I have all the patience to keep reading. This book is way too long, if only the part where hookup-breakups happening was cut I'd enjoy it more.  There are a lot of beautiful passages that should resonate with me because I am a gender-nonconforming myself, but for some reason, the bland writing has a chokehold on me. So yeah. 

TLDR: I'm disappointed with this book.
