Sull'Autore
William Perry Moore IV was born in Richmond, Virginia on November 4, 1971. He graduated from the University of Virginia in 1994. While in college, he interned at the Virginia Film Festival. After graduation, he worked as an intern for MGM, on the production team for The Rosie O'Donnell Show, and mostra altro eventually as an executive with the movie company Walden Media. He was an executive producer of the fantasy movie series The Chronicles of Narnia. He wrote The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe: The Official Illustrated Movie Companion. He also wrote and directed with his life partner Hunter Hill the movie Lake City starring Sissy Spacek. Although he was glad that comic books had been introducing gay superheroes for some time, he wanted to see them portrayed in a better light. In 2007, he wrote Hero, a book about a gay superhero, which won a Lambda Literary Award as the best novel for young gay and lesbian adults in 2008. He died on February 17, 2011 at the age of 39.

Not terrible, but too long and too predictable. I wasn't impressed by Moore's borrowing previously established superhero profiles for his own characters.
Reminded me of the Magician's by Lev Grossman, but this was more of a coming of age story.
Moore kept the mystery tight the whole way through, but left enough clues for us to figure out what was going on.
Great read.

Example: Thom has been secretly coming to scope out the gay bar's parking lot "hundreds" of times. One night he goes to his usual surveillance spot. A sentence later, he states that he's going in now. (No emotional development? Why now, after a hundred visits?) A sentence after that, he decides he's not going in because it isn't "his scene" and mentions that the 'direction of his feet echoed his thoughts.' This made me honestly wonder if my copy was missing a page where he goes (or at least looks) inside and physically turns his body away from the door. Just... what?
There are lots of half-addressed issues of racism. The ones that are addressed are awesome, because you don't see that enough in teen books; but the ones that aren't... aren't. I half suspected Golden Boy was going to turn out to be mixed race, but I was really hoping I was wrong. Golden Boy?? Seriously???
I'm surprised I didn't hate this book---I just ended up being very underwhelmed. I'm a bit confused by the good reviews.… (altro)
