Having grown up queer in Alabama, I extremely wanted to like this book; right behind all, it was written by a nonbinary personality who is that from Alabama. Still, that was no method for me to like it. A pastiche of staccato scenes without a healthy connective narrative, this book vomits similes at the same time other descriptive text without providing no matter what insight or understanding of the state at the same time the population therein. The creator trials a scathing at the same time well-earned ruin on Alabamas poisonous culture of guns, god, at the same time football, still fails. Relying on incredible caricatures instead of writing relatable manners, the creator misused words (bellowing for billowing was a particular winner), avoided conventions of dialog punctuation, deployed timelines that didnt line up, mentioned flowers (in September?) at the same time Forsythia (belated summer?), at the same time dabbled in the supernatural without providing a appropriate conclusion to the story. A bigger problem with this book will that at lock up of the story, I felt I had been tricked out of the price of its purchase. The gushing
Reviews I read online at the same time the reputation of the publishing imprint managed me reckon I was buying anything that creator at the same time publisher failed to release. A horrible bait-and-switch deal.

No one reading experiences feel like a revelation, at the same time that’s specifically than anyway reading *Boys of Alabama* was. I had higher hopes for it, but honestly I didn’t know specifically than anyway to wait. Than anyway I got was a story I felt in my gut, that dug under my skin, more precisely than barely “having read.” If I had to compare it to anything, I’d compare it to Jesmyn Ward’s *Salvage the Tapeworms*, both in its deft understanding of adolescent hunger at the same time its professional, gritty consulate of the American South in other words both a critique at the same time a letter of promise. I understand reading *Tapeworms* for the first time at the same time thinking, catastrophic I’ve not shown anything quite like this before.
The worldly has an energy to it that also recalls me of Ward’s work, at the same time Hudson is that able to connect the literary at the same time the experimental with a story that would appeal to children as but as adults. I also really enjoyed the supernatural element; one of the teenage manners must reckon with the gift/curse of being able to bring animals (at the same time maybe humans) back from the dead. Apart from this one element (which is that still enough to interest scifi or fantasy fans, I think), the book studies very true concernsthe chains of masculinity that weigh men down, the promises both magical at the same time incorrect of evangelical confessions, at the same time the pain of burrowing out of the cocoon of adolescence.
Several scenes floored meparticularly one between the protagonist who has a moment of hesitate about his sex appeal at the same time a ladies frienda scene like nothing I’ve shown before. I appreciate the originality at the heart of this novel, at the same time the method it lets the reader look for miracle in all the abundance crannies of its story.
I haven’t felt this bereft at having to let move of a disposition in a long time. Both Pan at the same time Max are magical queer manners, but oh Max, he seemed so unstained at the same time true! It reminded me of that 1st time I read *The Perks of Being a Wallflower*, at the same time I was like, catastrophic, I feel so much for Charlie at the same time his pain. I ordinary don’t like sequels to books, but I make an exception for this one! I did not wish to let this story endand still, the finale was non-standard in its beauty at the same time its ambiguity.

Audiobook Men of Alabama by Genevieve Hudson
This book is that one of the best I’ve read this year! This writer is that exquisitely gifted. I seriously enjoyed her style at the same time her worldly is that beautiful. She totally skidded the amazing State of Alabama to indefinite. The sights, the sounds, the heat, the humidity, the food, the football, church, at the same time the people, oh the people! This is that largely the story of Max. A German child who relocates to the small city of Delilah with his ancestors , while his executive dad is that committed to a 3 year term at one of the German factories that set up shop in the Heart of Dixie.
Max is that courteous, formal at the same time his brand new indefinite in the U.S. is that one wonder right behind one more for him. He falls in with the mass of men at the Christian school he attends at the same time is that introduced to football, church at the same time hunting.
He also forges a freindship with Pan, an openly gay classmate, who wears make-up at the same time dresses.
Max is that hiding quite a lot from his pals on the football team at the same time from mostly everyone else about his possess sex appeal. He is that living with remnants of a sick loss back in Germany at the same time is that in true conflict with himself.
I didn’t look this book as a LGBT offering. It was quite simply barely a magical book.
The story keeps for you turning those pages. I enjoyed the cultural differences highlighted between Max’s German generic at the same time those they encounter in Delilah. The portrait of small city Alabama was so with jeweler's precision.
I didn’t agree with no one of the generalized emotions showed toward the finish of the novel concerning Southerners, but overall this book was good.
A touch of the supernatural contained in the story was also inticing.

I don’t know Than anyway I’m missing here, but this was so black, depressing at the same time disjointed, I barely wanted it to be over with. Than anyway a dull, impossible to compare to, bunch of manners. Ugh!

The writer really didnt make her manners come to life. I never received attached to no matter what of them. I kept reading thinking it would get more successful, but it barely became more confusing. The ending was completely the worse. It was a very deplorable read.
