Reactions and Reviews

Boy, let's go for the tears again! But isn't this what people who love each other do? "What would happen if... I got sick, he died, I was crippled... etc." A very accurate portrait of depression; a beautiful, though painful, reverie. Writing doesn't get much better than this. [1]
I have to admit, I didn't understand Summer's Rain. That's a strange one. I read it several times (as all the others as well), but I still can't understand it. Am I missing there something? How come Starsky thinks or dreams he's blind? That doesn't make sense to me. Sorry. [2]
A gentle, loving story. I loved the line, "Holding on to the only thing left—love...They were suspended in a world, of their own. Sharing, as always, be it joy or pain." Lovely. Although I was a little disappointed that the blindness turned out to be just a daydream of Starsky's (I love h/c), I liked the idea that Starsky could be insecure enough to wonder if Hutch would love him even if he were blind and helpless. Loved the closing lines: "Love you till I die." "That's all?" [3]
Boy, was I glad this was just a dream! I was falling for it. [4]
Leah's 'Summer's Rain' is another creative study of situations left behind by the post-'Sweet Revenge' scenario. That reprieve—recalled to life—raised questions and Leah sheds an illuminating spotlight on one of them. [5]

This is one of those stories that I almost wish was longer, but it works perfectly being as short as it is. It shows the love between the two men, and the bond they share no matter what. It's got hurt/comfort, love, humor, and the ending makes me giggle every time I read it. It's serious and sappy at the same time. Stories this short tend to leave the reader wanting, but this one is so well written that you don't need any more explanation then what's given.[6]
