Always Have, Always Will (Queer As Folk)

ASIN: 074347614X |
Book Description
This popular new line of books follows your favorite Queer as Folk characters on a riveting journey of sexual self-discovery with stories about the beloved characters from the record-breaking Showtime series. USA Today raves, "There's never been anything else like it on TV" -- and there's never been a book series like this. Life after college brings a lot more freedom -- and a lot of new problems. Brian must trade his status as BMOC for the bottom rung of the corporate ladder, while Michael, who has long given up on college, now wonders if he's also given up on his dreams. Emmett visits Pittsburgh to celebrate the spectacular launch of his fashion marketing company in Los Angeles (or so everyone thinks), while Deb adds gay rights advocacy to her juggling act of working at the diner and taking care of her ailing brother, Vic. Like Lindsay -- who experiences life as a struggling artist and true love for the first time -- Deb's about to get more than she bargained for. Add in a secret romance, sexually charged office politics, an over-the-top drag ball, and the arrival of new friends and lovers, and our little gang is tested enough to qualify for postgraduate credit. More than ever before, Michael and Brian find their friendship challenged. As their choices tear them apart, Brian sees that it's Michael he's always loved, and that he always will. But will he tell him before it's too late?Customer Reviews:

Further Adventures of the Liberty Avenue Gang.......2004-06-16
It should therefore be no surprise that I was happy when it was announced that there would be a series of books based on Queer As Folk. This bok is the third in that series of novels. "Every Nine Seconds" being the first and "Never Tear Us Apart" being the second (you can read my reviews of those books here at amazon).
As with the previous novels, I enjoyed this story and plot. Its not a difficult read and the author again succeeds in capturing the "voices" of most of the shows defined characters (In this novel, we are introduced to Melanie and Ted, rounding out the gang as we first met them in Season One of QAF).
The best part of reading this book, again as with the others, is that the story incorporates existing storylines of the television series, referencing events and foreshadowing character development. This gives the reader a bit of the "We're In On It" feel. I like that.
This book begins with a bit of a time gap jump. "Never Tear Us Apart" is now three years in the past. Thats a pretty big jump and honestly I wish they'd have taken some time to delve into the issues that had to have happened in that span. For one thing, Michael has dropped out of college and little attention is paid to very monumental event in his life.
We begin this novel at Brian's college graduation, with our hero about to begin his career life in the big bad world of advertising. Michael is working at the Big Q, and Debbie is helping Uncle Vic with his health issues. Emmett is back, as well as is Lindsay (for those looking or waiting for the big sex scene with Brian and Lindsay, we are spared).
The introduction of Melanie and Ted doesn't seem as "easy" as the introduction of other characters in the previous novels, and we're asked to rely on what we know of their characters from the show a great deal.
As presented here - Ted is the shy puppy dog and Melanie, well, I'm rather disappointed in her portrayal here. She's uncharacteristically boring.
My main problem with this novel is that the author hasn't seemed to capture Melanie and Lindsay as we know them. The others are very well defined and you can easily make the connection from these early years to the people they've become on the television show - this is not true of Mel and Lindz. Shout-outs to Michelle Clunie and Thea Gill for taking their characters on the show to a higher plane with not much screen time, but unfortunately their acting talent is not visible here. Make no mistake though, it's the actresses, and our knowledge of them, that is the only thing that works in this book with regards to their "characters".
Ted has come a long way on the show, and this is him in a very immature place in his life. He's an interesting character and is introduced here via Melanie. We are persented with his early infatuation with Michael (remember season one?) and it is accurate and on the money. I'm interested in seeing him progress in the novels to the character we know now.
Emmett's storyline here is sort of out of the blue. He's returned from Los Angeles with worries and secrets of his own.
Brian, perhaps the most complex Queer As Folk character, is written very well.
All in all, the story and the characters are what we are here for and this book delivers for the most part (4 stars only because of my disappointment in girlz story/characters).
This book is fun to read. It's a great beach book, easy to pick up and fall right into.
I recommend this book, as I do the first two novels, as a fun and easy read for the Queer As Folk fan. Its entertaining and thats what counts.
If you're a fan, you'll like the book. Thats basically what it comes down to.

Product Description
Most people develop their sense of self-worth from what they accomplish in life. As time goes by though, the confident and blissful feeling eventually weakens and fades. For the self-worth that sustains the ever-changing ebb and flow of life it must be based on the sacredness that is found at the core of every soul - within the miracle of life itself. As David Walker writes, "If we don't accept the fact that what we ARE is more important than what we DO, we will live a lifetime with the self-inflicted pressure to preform."Customer Reviews:

Unfairly Neglected.......2002-10-30
What I just can't express is how real and honest the songs are. This is the best example to show of a musical. What's a shame is how unknown and unpopular this musical is. No one seems to understand and find a way to unlock the realness of this unfairly neglected piece of American repertoire. It needs to be introduced to the mainstream audience.
Well, at least I can tell you. But you must spread this to the world. Tell your friends, relatives, tell all! Do not let this sink into the musical land of the unknown.
Contrived, but fun nonetheless.......2002-10-28
