Title: This Really Hit Home
Review: It was if Mann had some sort of portal that peers into my life, my hopes and my wishes. Although the details may be different, we have all experienced what these characters have to some degree. It was reassuring to know that these feelings about gay life, relationships and friendships are not unique.What really made the book interesting was the fact that it was written in first person from the points of view of three characters: Jeff, Henry and Lloyd. It's obvious that these are much more than fictional characters, but characters based on people that the author has actually known.It's interesting how the three points of view fill in the missing gaps in each character's narrative, or give a different spins on a single event, much like the characters in a Maeve Binchy novel.With Where the Boys Are and its prequel, The Men from the Boys, our generation may have actually found its literary voice in William J. Mann.
