Dogs fetch things, ride in the back of their pickup trucks wearing bandanas. Now, I know there is a traditional, even socially acceptable bond between man and his dog. So, I need to admit something, but I truly hope that we can keep it between you and me, people of the internet. Yet, let’s face it, if I didn’t have a softer side, I wouldn’t need to struggle to hide it. If someone asks me how I feel, I usually answer with a caveman like grunt, and then scratch myself somewhere socially inappropriate in order to put an end to that line of questioning. So, I bottle up my feelings, hiding them from the world. I mean, I don’t really want people to look at me as soft, or, god help me, sensitive. Like many men my age, I constantly am battling to maintain an air of masculinity in order to keep my proper place in the social stratus. It is also a heart warming adventure story full of characters both human and not that you can truly care about. Quick Thoughts: A Beautiful Friendship is a wonderful speculative fiction introduction to teenagers interested in Science Fiction concepts like non-human sentient life, and space colonization, without getting overly bogged down in superfluous details. A Beautiful Friendship by David Weber (Star Kingdom, Bk 1)
