Reviewed by Me for TeensReadToo.comRussel Middlebrook is pretty sure that he's gay. After all, he's not attracted to girls, and he spends every day after gym class studiously avoiding the other half-naked guys in the locker room. He's never had an actual experience with another guy, though, so maybe the attraction he feels toward them is something he'll outgrow--or maybe not. While surfing the Internet one night, he finds chat rooms for different towns and cities, where you can talk to other people who are also gay. And amazingly enough, there's a boy he meets with the name GayTeen-- who not only lives in his town, but also attends his high school. Another gay boy, in his very own school? There's no way that could be true-- especially when he finds out that the kid with the handle GayTeen is none other than Kevin Land, star of the baseball team, one of the most popular guys in school. As Kevin and Russel get to know one another, outside of school and hidden away from prying eyes, they realize that there's no way for them to be together inside school walls. The same is true for Russel's friends Min and Terese, who although they claim to just be really close friends, are actually in love. So along with a few others, including Gunnar, who is straight, and Brian Bund, the loser of Goodkind High School, the boys form The Geography Club. After all, no one else is going to want to join such a boring club--especially if they knew it was just a front for a gay/ lesbian school group. As events at school heat up, with Brian eventually being outed as gay even though he's not, Russel, Kevin, and their friends will have to learn what's most important in life. And that sometimes, no matter how much you might wish for things to be out in the open, you're just not ready. GEOGRAPHY CLUB is a great, quick read from author Brent Hartinger, about the ups and downs of daily high school life, and the struggle to find ones identity.

good read. YA books keep my attention. Also nice to read a gay story that doesn't end horribly.

This is the worst book I have ever read. A book with a gay main character all about how he wants another guy's cock and gets it but sadly is rejected by said guy and is just so torn. But! He starts a group for gays and lesbians to be together! How unfuckingcliched! Worst book ever.

Okay...I will start by saying I'm a little too old (read: bitter and jaded) for this book, and it was all about gay teen angst that I didn't particularly care about going through when I was in college, so to read about it again...I wasn't intersted. But Brent Hartinger is a great writer. He's funny and engaging, and he gave the main character a clear voice and good conflict, so, in the end, I'm very glad I read it. I just wish i read it about 10 years ago.
