Commentary During Books Static

After two years together, Alex has been dreading the inevitable moment when Damon learns the truth: that Alex is a shifter, part of a small percentage of the population able to switch genders at will. Thanks to a forced implant, though, Alex is suddenly static—unable to shift—and male. Overnight, he’s out to a world that neither understands nor tolerates shifters . . . and to his heterosexual boyfriend. Damon is stunned to discover his girlfriend is a shifter, and scared to death of the dangers the implant poses to Alex’s health. He refuses to abandon Alex, but what about their relationship? Damon is straight, and with the implant both costly and dangerous to remove, Alex is stuck as a man. Stripped of half his identity and facing serious physical and social ramifications, Alex needs Damon more than ever, but he doesn’t see how they can get through this. Especially if he’s static forever.

Audiobook review4,5 starsI'm in love with this book and these characters. This book fascinated me. Ive read numerous shifter stories before, but those were shifting human to animal or different creatures. Static was about shifting genders. It was new and it was different, but more than that I loved every word of it.Damon and Alex are in love, they've been together two years and Damon is doing his best to convince Alex to marry him, only so far she's resisting. Yes, I did say she, because as

True rating: 2.75 stars; rounding up because of the great imagination and writing displayed here. I am a bit bummed. The relationship between these two guys hasn't been fully fleshed out and the ending, although a sweet HFN, was too ambiguous and rushed. I wanted more, especially after all that. The story up to the end was great ... it was the ending that had my rating (relatively) plummeting :-/. More specifically, I would have liked Alex to have remained (view spoiler)[male (hide spoiler)] or

Excellent book by L.A. Witt!! It dealt with a great deal of issues most books only touch on (transgender, gay, hetero, prejudice, loving the PERSON, whatever they may look like on the outside). This was my first book from L.A. Witt, and it certainly won't be my last! The ending was not a surprise, but then again, it was. Very tightly written and from both protagonists POV---brilliant!!

Excellent m/m romance about a guy who doesn't realize his girlfriend is a shifter (able to shift between female and male) until after her extremely religious parents force her to have a gender freezing chip inserted, which leaves her stuck in her male form. This book really got me thinking on the complexity of gender.

After reading Ms. Witt's intense, emotional attachment to this story, I'm attempting to adjust my reaction to it. She spoke of a tremendous amount of research into transgenders and her use of this story as a textbook or educational tool, I would guess. If you keep that in mind, you will be happy. I wasn't really looking to be quite so thoroughly educated. I really wanted more emotional attachment between the two main characters. That really didn't seem to gel until nearly 80% in. The messages

Despite rave reviews of L.A. Witt's book, STATIC, I did not enjoy the book very much myself. If I could, I would have rated it a 3.5, just because of the thought provoking subject matter and originality. The story is about Damon who is worried about Alex, his girlfriend for the past two years, because she has not answered his calls for over 48 hours. Frantic and distressed, Damon finds himself pounding on Alex's apartment door until an ill looking man he has never seen before finally answers.

Heartbreaking violation perpetrated by family members will always catch my attention. Ms. Witt is an author I can always depend on for a great read. Static may be a revision for her, but it is new to me and breaks my heart. It is a bit embarrassing to cry whilst reading this book on the airplane. This book moved me. If you haven't read it yet, buy the book and read it now.Ms. Witt takes a concept and totally runs with it. The way she presents an idea and makes it relatable is truly an art form.
