Review # 1 was written on 2016-08-09 00:00:00 Andrea Fox Perfect timing I found William's first book The Men from the Boys in a used bookstore during my first visit to Ptown. The book found me at the perfect time in my life just how this book has now. I could easily swap out the names of the characters in this book for the names of the men in my life. This is a deep book that asks and answers many of the questions men in their late 20's and early 30's ask about love and life as a gay man. it's a beautiful story that makes you question your own beliefs and outlooks on life and love all the while reaffirming your belief that things will work out for the best and love will be found. A great read and one that I will likely read again and again.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-05-15 00:00:00 Timothy Van Ryswyk The blurb for this novel does not do it justice, nor does its cover. This story is one of those most vivid, heart-wrenching accounts of men struggling to find their sense of self that I have ever read. I haven't been moved by a character as I was with Henry in a long time. The author is a dialogue genius - conversation takes place within the pages of his novel so smoothly you'd swear he recorded them happening. If this novel is indicative of the rest of Mann's fictions, all I can say is that I need to make more room on my book shelf. I can't recommend this novel enough.
