OMG. I loved, loved, LOVED this book. I was totally hooked and shocked by all the twists.

Weeks later and I'm stopping people asking, "Have you read this?"

If you haven't, you MUST!!

I did not see the movie, and I must admit the book is a bit odd, but it's a good read.

Although the story was interesting, the ending fell short for me...I think this is based on a real life experience, tho, so maybe that is why the ending is the way it is.

A more or less true story, masquerading as fiction, about Maupin's experience with the *author* of a purported non-fiction book, "A Rock and a Hard Spot". This is a bizarre story and an interesting read but not for the homophobic. There are some retty graphic descriptions of gay male relationships.
