Ugg!. Pretty good writer. The homophobia throughout put me off. Perhaps some gays are predatory, but not to the extent that the author depicts it in this book. The idea that we get to use and abuse others for our own dreams, which we of course deem far more worthy than other people's dreams, is reprehensible. I will not read another of her books.

Gastien!. Gastien: The Cost of the Dream by Caddy Rowland is a touching coming-of-age story that grabs hold from the start. A mesmerizing tale of a young man wanting to leave his family farm to become an artist in France. A beautifully told story that was as vivid as a moving film, as I could see the story unfold before my eyes. The author has the rare ability to show a story that comes to life right off the pages. I was glued to these pages and it was hard to think of anything else but Gastien and his adventures. And many of these adventures were a shock to me which made it that much more desirable. This Gastien had a passion and nothing was going to get in his way. Quote ~ Knowing you are good looking is a very heady thing, especially for an eighteen-year-old boy about to become a man. It is sometimes said - usually by people that have never been good looking - that looks are not as important as other traits because they fade. Not so. Looks are as great of an asset as any other. Fair or not, being extremely good looking can open many doors. You just need to be savvy enough to knock. Gastien learned quickly to use those looks, especially those huge eyes, to knock.

Gastien: The Cost of the Dream. True feelings of an artist. It was a fascinating exploration of ones dreams and fears, believable. Heartfelt and passionate. I can't wait to read the next. Why do others dislike any one that does not conform? We do not dislike them. Passions of the heart!

Gastien: The Cost of the Dream. While this book is well written, and very accurately depicts homelessness and poverty, nothing in the description prepares you for the depravity graphically depicted in this book! Information on the nature of the content, specifically homosexual conduct should be included in the very first paragraph--"explicit adult content" does not address this issue adequately!

This is not a homphobic story. I am the author and don't want to rate my own book, but have no choice if I want to comment, as I can't submit a comment without rating the book. Please ignore the rating (obviously I'm not going to give myself any rating but 5 star as I don't want to lower the rating readers give me).I want to address the review saying I am homophobic. I have many, many gay friends. Additionally,l every one of my books includes either side characters or main characters that are either gay or lesbian. Saying one can only show ANY type of person in one way is what is homophobic. The fact that in this book some gay men happen to be villians does not make me or this story homophobic. In fact, moving forward in the series there are many gay or lesbian people who are shown in a positive light, and the last book has a gay main character and is his love story. I enjoy writing about all kinds of people, and hope most readers understand all walks of life can harobr both kind and evil people. Thank you. I just want readers to know I write about the sublime joy and bitter tragedy of being human. That insludes straight and LGBT in both good and bad light.
