Awesome!

Out of three books I love this one the best. The after high school setting was cool for a change and the maturity levels of the characters was better. In this book, Kyle isn't the perfect boy anymore, Jason sees that he can screw up. I like the readers now see some of Kyles flaws and defects, this is one of the best parts of the book. Jason...oh Jason. I enjoyed reading about how Jason questions hes total "gayness" when he sees naked girls and kisses that girl in the club. Thats a big problem many questioning people have and it was nice to see it brought up in a way. Jason and Kyles relationship goes throught its tough times on this trip with is also nice to see becuase not every relationship in the world is perfect. In many ways even though Kyle and Jason fight, their relationship is growing stronger. Then comes Nelson. Nelson, a friend of Kyle and not really Jasons in the other two books. In this book, I like how Nelson and Jason start to connect and Kyle doesnt like that. This is another big problem many teens hae in their relationships, gays and straights. He also wants to find his true love like Kyle found Jason, but he doesnt know if hes ever going to find that til the end of the book in L.A. My all time favorite part of the book is at the end when Kyle knows he want to spend the rest of his life with Jason and that they are going to take it one day at a time, just like the old couple from the diner. I would recommend this book to everyone!!!

Realistic

Jason, Kyle and Nelson are the main characters in the third and final book in the "Rainbow" series. The boys head to California on a road trip at the end of the summer, where Jason has been asked to speak at the opening of a gay/lesbian high school. Kyle is worried about his and Jason's romance during this road trip. Nelson is along for the ride with his best friend, Kyle. It is a trip that makes them all reach a new level of maturity. The people, places and the events make for a memorable road trip for all. We are sad to see the series end!

Rainbow Road Rocks!

Rainbow Road is one hell of a great book. A must read. For anyone who is gay, straight, or in between, this book is for you. This book transcends sexuality. It's about growing up, accepting who you are, and learning that in this life there are no guarantees.

Magnificent!!!!!!!!

As with Rainbow Boys and Rainbow High, Alex Sanchez has written another magnificent book with Rainbow Road. My only disappointment is that the jacket says this will be the conclusion of the series. Unfortunately, with any series as good as this, you always want more and want the series to continue. The adventures of Jason, Kyle, and Nelson continue. You will marvel at the growth of the characters. As you read, you see them grow as three young adults, not simply three gay youths.

Queer and proud

I cant wait to read the conclucion of the three part series call rainbow boys-rainbow high and now rainbow road. If this book is anything like the other two then it worth more than 5 stars its worth a million. Alex Sanchez is a Genious in these stories her writes about (love) straight love,gay love ,friend love ,parent love,and acceptance of one self not as a faggot a queer but as a human being. He write about frienships and how to know who and what are friends. he writes about hope-liflove-fear but above all he writes about truth and the ugly world of hatred discrimination and double standers. I not only recommend these books I encourge them.
