This is a great book! The movie was a disappointment. Not because of Colin Farrell's portrayel of Bobby, I'm not really sure why it was a disappointment. I read the book after seeing the movie so that wasn't why. Anyway, I see similarities in this story and Queer as Folk (though I've only seen the first season) and RENT! So if you like either of those you should definetly read AHatEotW. If I had to do a character study for an english class it would definetly be Bobby. He is very complex and I really think that early events in his life shape who he is later in life. You can tell that I have thought a lot about this book. So if you like a book that leaves you thinking, this is it. BTW, I liked it a lot better than The Hours movie, but I haven't read The Hours yet so I can't really compare the two.
