I adored the exploration of sexuality in this novel. Autoboyography isn't an absolute favorite of mine, but I went through a real emotional transformation with it, making it a fairly memorable read. (Wonder what that say about me?) I thoroughly enjoyed the different points of conflict in the story, from the romance problems, the friend problems, the religious complications, Sebastian's role as a mentor and Mormon missionary, even Tanner's flawed nature grew on me as it made for a good story (albeit, still infuriating). Finally, when shit hit the fan and everything was ruined, I was hooked. Once the story passed into a period of cute romance, I was more into it. The plot felt very generic to start and I found Tanner incredibly irritating. I have to say, I was NOT feeling this book to start. And it takes less than a month for Tanner to fall completely in love with him.Ĥ Stars! A really remarkable read that lives up to the hype. After all, it takes only one second for him to notice Sebastian Brother, the Mormon prodigy who sold his own Seminar novel the year before and who now mentors the class.
