 Another gay coming-of-age classic from Sanchez, 2008-06-18
This is the second novel in the "Rainbow Boys" triology, and it's as great as the first. Author Alex Sanchez has created three such distinct and likable characters who you can relate to and sympathize with, and enjoy their triumphs. He treats the many issues caused by their homosexuality with great care and honesty. I was particularly impressed with how Sanchez dealt with the issue of coming out as a member of a team sport, not with just one character but two, and with two sports that carry very different dynamics (Jason on the high school basketball team and Kyle on the swim team). This is a book that does a great service for gay teens, and it's eminently readable for people of all ages. It's compelling and inspiring, tender and fun. It's also upsetting at times--there are a number of situations caused by homophobia that stir genuine outrage. But it's these situations that cause the boys to grow--and their handling of the situations cause the readers to love the characters all the more. "Rainbow High" is another gay coming-of-age classic. And I'm looking forward to finishing the trilogy as I dive into "Rainbow Road."

Rainbow High, 2007-11-27
This is a fantastic book. I found it very moving and it shows what we have to go through in life. It talks about being yourself and hiding because that is what all of closeted cases tend to do. I have discussed this with my friends and family and they still care about me no matter what my sexual orientation.

 keep reading, 2007-09-11
This book started off slow really. Then it got really good in the end. I was happy I kept reading it because the ending was so good. Jason comes out to his team and the school loves him for it while Kyle's life in school is the total opposite from his boyfriends. Nelson is thankfully over Kyle and he has a boyfriend. But as we all know, life isn't perfect now that you have a boyfriend. It was really good just not as good as the first book.

At last! Quality gay fiction for teens!, 2007-04-06
Finally, a story about gay teens, while told with honesty and realism, where no one dies. Author Sanchez has a great feel for teen language and motivation. He is also spot-on with the parental and other adult characterizations. The plot teaches without being pedantic and without ceasing to entertain. There's also a couple of scenes that steam lightly with the mildest, yet warm eroticism, but it's certainly not gratuituous in the least and written tastefully and without prurience. As a former young adult librarian, I've so often needed gay fiction to recommend to struggling teens for a bit of bibliotherapy. Until Sanchez, there's been a definite dearth of such literature. Looking forward to reading his other books and highly recommend this one. The eye candy covers are fun, but the content is far more than fluffy hotties looking bored.

Let It All Out!!, 2006-12-07
Rainbow High is a very inspirational book. Especially for the Lesbians, Bisexuals, Gays and Queers. An inspiration because alot of homosexuals are very uncomfortable with the way they look and how they would fit in with the world, and why won't the world except them for who they are. Sanchez shows all of the difficulties and hardships homosexuals endure in the "normal" community, including high school. He also expresses how other people react to their homosexuality, including there very own relatives.
I love this book because it inspires me personally.Alot of people dont except me for being bisexual and its hard. But as long as i stand up for myself and not let anyone control what I want to do and be in life, i'll have alot of respect after words.
