This is a book that I really got a lot out of. I suspect that at any age, but especially if you are in your teens or early twenties, this story really lets you in on the fact that you arent alone. Finding out that love between to friends is not only all right, but not uncommon. It is again, very honest, there are no empty rewards to be gained from reading it. There are lessons to be learned from Kyle on love, respect, friendship. I find it hard to express myself, to put down what it is that catches me and holds me with this story. Mostly because it is true. I highly recomend it to anyone in their high school or college years, but of course I think its a great read to anyone of any age.
Green Room is the heart-touching, soul searching
novel about teen-agers who never asked to be born
finding their OWN way in a world they never made.
Laying bare the shame of shame, outing the hypocricies
og our society, revealing the innocence of young
people whp are guilty of only trying to be THEMSELVES
and would rather love one another than kill each
other.
It is a novel that merits the acclaim of Salingers
"Catcher In The Rye" of a generation ago.
A must read for all teens whose biggest question in life is "Why?" and all parents willing to give them an honesy answer.

A fantastic coming of age story, full of honesty and feelings that gives the true meaning of friendship.
Mr Kelly has the ability to put into words the emotions others often search for.

This is a story that goes directly to our hearts, maybe because it provokes our brains with a lot of true. It’s incredible how the lead character, Kyle, touches so deep everyone he knew and now everyone that reads the book. Adolescence is always full of drama, humor, crazy ideas and overwhelming feelings, the author captured all of this very well.

This is a very unique story that is pretty much unforgettable.... and an easy-to-read book that always made me look forward to the next chapter. As many of the reviews indicated.... it's a great and HEROIC story that just does not come along very often, and if stories like these exist... they are not told often enough. Pride, joy, tension, and tears... for many reasons... are some of the feelings that the story evokes. And for many of us who perhaps lived a "small part" of this story in our lives.... it's very important and memorable. Yes. GET THIS BOOK !

This story is unforgettable: Kyle changed the life of hundreds of teens and men, being "only" him and accepting himself as he was.
What an exemple for a teen who lived such a short life!
This book will change your mind definitively on many topics, as did Kyle on his numerous friends.

Reading about Kyle's friendship with Brett, as well as Stuart and everthing else. This book has had quite a solid impact on my life. Its certainly one of the most touching and human books I have read yet.

A unique and vital literary presentation. The story, based
on the true experiences of teen-aged boys coming to terms with the challenges of approacching adult-hood, is a testimony to the innate goodness of the human heart, the
true depth of childhood innocence and the awesome integrity
of the human spirit.
The boys in this book demonstrate sometimes humorously and at times tragically the true meaning of the term
"Brotherly Love".
The book is also a reminder to its readers that the greatest
shame in all human realtionships, is shame itself. zyx

A very interesting and unusual coming of age story about a teenage boy and his many friends in Australia. Once into this true story it is very hard to put the book down. It contains a balanced blend of humor and everyday teen life, with expected emphasis on the varied romantic experiences of the characters as they struggle through their mid-teen years. The lead character, Kyle, is one very unusual young man who has a special knack for making many lasting friendships during his high school years.
