The Long and Winding Road Bear Otter and the Kid Chronicles TJ Klune 9781635336801 Books

This is the final book in the Bear, Otter and the Kid series. I loved every single word. I loved Bear's rambling, meandering, outrageously unrealistic monologues. I loved Otter's rock-solid assurances that everything will be okay. Loved watching the Kid grow. Grow out of some of his fear and panic and grow into a young man who is truly finding the place where he is a perfect fit. All the old friends and some new ones are here. There are real moments; real marriage problems and a hilarious struggle to figure out how to work through them.

I love the writing style the author uses in these books. Very long monologues to short sentence fragments. The reuse of portions of the previous books (Otter's letter, Julie's letter, Kid and Otter's 'invitation' for Bear, etc.). I simply loved it all. I laughed many times. I cried many times. I breathed deeply (like Kid) when I was trying not to cry. This book has all the feels AND Bear changing his name to Valentino Valentine as well as Otter becoming a Mars-bound astronaut. JK, read the book.

I noticed another review that said you didn't need to read the first 3 to 'get' this one. Well. Maybe. But if you were going to drive up the California coast, would you ignore the bulk of the journey, then soak in the last 3 miles and exclaim, "Wow, that was great!" You could. But you'd miss so much.

Finally, I have to say: But, Tj! You could continue this! THERE COULD TOTALLY BE MORE. :)

Thanks for these guys and their beautiful stories. I know you say no more. But I am kind of hoping we at least get to see some of these characters appear (even as a reference) in a future book. After all, even Gustavo Tiberius was mentioned in this series!

The Long and Winding Road Bear Otter and the Kid Chronicles TJ Klune 9781635336801 Books Reviews

This is a fitting finale to a heart warming book filled with the rawness of living a life. I enjoyed the intermingling of other characters from previous
books creating connecting threads. The background humor as well as the evolving developments of choices affecting relationships were realistic.
I wasn't all fun but serious issues in how to deal with who we are and how to live with our eccentricities. I appreciated the fact that T J knows how to end a series and give a sense of closure. Generally, my memory was awakened with relevant references to past characters without having to think about it. Admittedly, there were a few gaps(couldn't recall the Dom/Ty relationship too well) , but I did get the gist of it. No, I did not feel like I had to go back to previous books to grasp a deeper understanding.( Not that I haven't reread some of TJ "s previous works just because...)
I hope that TJ keeps going with his creative juices. I am awaiting with anticipation for the third book of Tales From Verania ( coming out in September I believe). Also, just by chance if TJ is reading this review I am wondering if you would consider the second book on BURN. You still left
me hanging on that one. Keep on trucking TJ. You are doing a wonderful job of exploring the human condition and giving a sense of human interconnections.
This is such a fantastic book. I can't say that enough this is the last book in the series of four starting with Bear Otter and the Kid. Before this book was released i took the time to do a re-read of the first three. I discovered something truly amazing that not a lot of writers can pull off. These books suck you tear you apart make you laugh and make you cry, not just cry but big snot face cry. But each page is golden every word is perfectly crafted to rebuild yourself gives hope back and most importantly love for this family. TJ Kline is an excellent story weaver he is one of the best I have ever read. I can't urge people enough to read this series trust me you will no regret it. Thank you TJ for this epic family that I know i will keep reading over and over.
“Family is not always defined by blood. It’s defined by those who make us whole—whose who make us who we are.”

“Bear, Otter, and the Kid” was the first book by T.J. Klune that I read, back in 2011 (alas, before I was saving my reviews at home). It was my first introduction to Klune’s signature style, exemplified by the character of Derrick “Bear” McKenna. Since then, I’ve read every book Klune has published, discovering new pleasure with each new angle on this rare (and not always easy to digest) writing talent.

In this odd world in which I read for personal pleasure (gay fiction, gay romance), I have learned to ignore reviews and simply see what joy I can draw out of any book I read. I always am satisfied and emotionally filled by Klune’s books, because of the spirit that rests within each of his widely diverse backlist of titles. Some of them appeal to me more than others, but every one pushes buttons and touches me in some profound way. By contrast, for the (mostly straight) men’s book group to which I’ve belonged for years (who wouldn’t dream of reading a gay-themed novel, in spite of my attempts), I have only really liked about half of the books we’ve shared. These are, without exception, best-sellers in literature, Pulitzer-Prize-winners, much talked-about hot books of the day. The point is that this doesn’t make them any better than the best of the work that comes from the genre I care most about. In this library of over 1200 books on my , Klune is among those writers whose work stands out for me. Not everybody likes Klune’s writing. But for those who do, it’s a rare treat.

I was glad to read the final chapter in the Bear, Otter and Ty saga. I needed this closure, every messy, overthought, drama-filled, hilarious page of it. I wanted to see Ty grown up. I was so pleased to see Otter and Bear get older—one more way for me to identify with them. I reveled in the big messy family of choice (and blood) that these men have put together to be their bulwark against the slings and arrows of the world (is that a mixed metaphor?).

There’s some dark stuff here; but it is (for once) handled with a lighter touch, because Klune sees the long-awaited goal in the distance and doesn’t wallow too much in the tough things in his desire to get us all to the finish line. What’s adorable is that the author himself is a rather young man, and I found myself smiling knowingly at his vision of long-term marital bliss. But this is part of what makes his work so appealing; his ability to tap into universal emotional wells that make his characters’ travails resonate with his readers, even if they have never quite experienced what Klune’s characters go through.

I laughed more during this book than I did with the previous volumes in this series. But I had plenty of emotions as well. This finale volume fairly beats you to death with love, and while that might not be for everyone, it’s just right for me.
