About this listen

Homo for the Holidays is a collection of mostly gay Christmas tales.

In this collection are found stories of gay romantic love, the love between a father and his gay son, and old lovers returning from the beyond.

There are stories within this book about a magical Christmas tree that appears of its own accord every year, angels, ghosts, and a century-old hotel that miraculously reappears during the holiday season.

Most of the stories are written for gay listeners, but some are just cozy Christmas tales.

There are stories in this volume for all true lovers of Christmas.

So, grab a plate of Christmas cookies and a steaming cup of cocoa and sit down to enjoy this collection of most gay Christmas tales.

Horrible writing and narration

Wow, this is one of the worst audiobooks I've ever heard. Could not finish it. I feel the 3 to 4 hours I spent listening to it were wasted. I hate to not finish any book, but couldn't go any further. There's nothing interesting or worthwhile here. The stories are so bland and uninspiring.
Additionally, I don't know which was worse, the writing or the narration. The narrator was the wrong type for this book, but actually for any book that wants to keep your interest or help you connect to the stories. Very little inflection, just straight-forward reading of the text.
Bad book! Bad, bad, bad book.

Boring

After listening to a little over 3 hours, I was bored with it. When listening while driving, you can not really tell where one story begins or ends, as there are no chapter markers between the stories. And some extended pauses of audio from the narrator, you think the story just ended with a cliff hangar. Also the stories are read with no emotion. The authors voice sounds " stoic. (or stoical)" The following portion of my review is taken from another reviewer who captured what I also experienced.

"Several of the stories centered around the same characters, which would have been all right except the plots were almost identical. In fact, one story contained a paragraph from a previous story that was repeated word for word. Also, several stories centered around the same plot: man all alone for Christmas in his snow-covered cabin in the woods".

I'm going to try to listen to more of the book. but not sure how far I will get.
