Title: Fabulous and fun, but not great literature
Product review: I only read gay debut novels if the author is hot, since most gay debut novels are largely autobiographical and I usually use the author's image when envisioning the protagonist's actions. Tom Dolby's picture passed the test, so I bought the book, and finished it in one night. Spiced with often amusing social observations, several references to my favorite fashion designers, and enjoyably superficial characters, The Trouble Boy did keep me hooked. I was very disappointed when Toby, the protagonist, made the "right" decision at the end, and all of a sudden almost everything in his life became perfect. So, the superficial characters and predictable storyline will keep critics from calling this great literature, but who cares, since it's a fun read.By the way, TOBY = TOm dolBY.
