![]() ![]() ![]() But Patrick has the kind of charisma that you want in a movie star and I don’t know how Rowley was able to translate this character trait so well onto the page, but it’s there. ![]() I’ve rarely read books where I’d describe the protagonist as charismatic-sarcastic? Sure. There’s a scene in this book where Patrick basically gets an entire room of TV producers to fall in love with him, his wit and humour, and his vulnerability in less than ten minutes and that’s how I felt reading this book-it wasn’t even a choice to love Patrick, it’s just the natural consequence of reading The Guncle. From hilarious one-liners to deep discussions on what it means to be lost in the world, that man is riveting. Let’s get straight to the point: Patrick-or Gay Uncle Patrick as he is known by his niece Maisie and his nephew Grant-is a kaleidoscope of awesomeness. This book has more hidden depths than I have double chins and that’s saying something. ![]() What I expected? A fun time watching a gay uncle wrestle with his brother’s children. Those are the hard ones.”ĭo you ever get to that certain point in a book where you’re thinking to yourself “wow, this is more than I bargained for when picking this up”? Because that’s what I felt like reading The Guncle. You have room to move and dance and breathe. Anyone who loved Uncle Joey from Full House. ![]()
