One of the best books with a gay theme ever written

Edmund White long ago established himself as a premier voice in gay America. "A Boy's Own Story" is a literary masterpiece both moving and disturbing. Many readers make the mistake of calling it "autobiographical", forgetting it is a work of fiction LOOSELY autobiographical. I can't imagine being gay and not having read this book. Yes, the ending is disturbing, and this makes it all the more powerful. "A Boy's Own Story" is so moving a reader threw it across the room upon reading the ending, vowing never to read Edmund White again. This alone should cause you to click on "add to shopping cart."

One word: Amazing.

This is the most profound book I have ever read. Congrats go out to White for an exemplary title!

A wonderfully boyish novel

I really enjoyed White's novel, especially for the realistic element that treats the fifteen-year-old main character like all boys his age were treated. It's a wonderful example of the struggle gay males go through in their early years and has a defined nature for the character. The novel is enticingly explicit, but in a way that it teases the reader. White only lets us in so far for the obviously sexual parts and then writes the hidden sexuality of the novel in such great detail, we see a whole new world of passion. A good read that keeps the reader going.
