    So, Has anyone read this book or even heard of it. Its by Marc Acito, and I love it.

    Its about a bisexual guy named Edward Zanni, and it tells the story of how he pays for julliard after his father tells him that he will never be a great actor and should pursue buissness. Its rather sexual, but its very very good.

    It has a sequel now. It is called Attack of the Theatre People. It is good, and amazingly enough, Edward has made the transition to gay instead of bi. and I cant really tell you anything about it without ruining some things.

    But again, has anyone heard of it or read it?


    (I finished the sequel a few hours ago, and I thought I would ask/recommend it to you guys)

    I've never heard of that book, but it sounds interesting. Another good book, imo, is the front runner. It's about a college track coach who accepts 3 boys who were kicked off their old track team for being gay. Anyway, he falls in love with one of them and the book follows their relationship. The ending will shock you. Very good book.

    I just recently read both and I loved them. Edward is probably one of the coolest people ever. I liked all the other characters a lot too. :icon_bigg

    Oh. My. LAWWWWWWWD.

    I thought I was the only person who's heard of this book! It's probably one of the best books I've ever read in a long time.

    I really need to pick up the sequel!

    The sequel.. Isnt AS good.

    But edward, at least to me, is so relatable. I love them.

    Glad other people are going to read it, because its really good. Both of them.

    I've heard of it and seen it in a few bookstores and my public library, but have never read it. I've heard it's really good though. I probably won't be reading it soon, it's not at the top of my "MUST READ" list, plus I've got homework for school...:frowning2:
