| The Night Listener ~ Armistead Maupin
This is a semi-autographical book. The main Charcter Gabriel Noone an author starts talking on the phone w/ a 13 yr boy who writes a book about his abusive childhood. Gabriel starts to wonder if the boy exsists or if its all a hoax. A movie of the book is coming out starring Robin Williams. They always say the book is better, so I was excited to get this book having seen the movie previews. so far , I'm kindof disappointed. The book goes into great detail of the main characters past relationships. Finally on chapter 13 it starts w/ the boy & if its a hoax. Maybe others will enjoy the book. Personally I have skipped pages at a time. they are not missed. If you see the movie let me know how you liked it.

forced myself to finsh this book. I was very disappointed. the whole story about him & the kid seemed like an afterthought to the author, not what this book was really about. maybe the movie is better.
