has anyone else read this?  i thought it was a great read, so much so i had stayed up all night to read the whole thing!

i really enjoyed the flow of the book and found it to be a real page turner (and i don’t read too often, though lately i found i have been reading more).  i guess a big part of the enjoyment also comes from a lead character who is gay so i felt i could identify better than if it were a female lead (while i wished it was a male) or a straight male lead (wishing he was gay, haha).

I heard rumors from comic con that perry moore is working w/ stan lee on a possible hero tv show or movie?  anyone hear anything concrete or better yet, was anyone there to hear first hand?  i might be completely wrong, but i’m hoping.

I really enjoyed this book. I’m pretty excited over the prospect that it’s going to be a movie.

One of my favorite reads. It really is a page turner took me a few days to be done with it. If it’s ever done as a comic I want John Cassaday to illustrate it because that’s how I pictured it in my head when I read it lol.

I also read the book cover to cover and enjoyed it a lot.  I really liked the characters and development.  I would have liked to have it a bit longer, but I’m very happy to hear they might make a movie about it.

Wow!  That’s cool to hear.  I heard it was going to be a movie, but a series is cool too!  Thanks for sharing!

Ya I can’t wait, I don’t know when it’s coming out though. I wonder who is playing the Leads?

I really enjoyed this novel.

My only disappointment was the god-like powers that Thom ended up having at the end. It takes away some of the risk and tension involved with being a hero if the hero is omnipotent. Everything else was pure gold though.

I was re-reading my copy recently, but accidentally left it on a plane. Hopefully it ended up in the hands of some gay kid out there somewhere.

I cannot portray through words just how much I loved this book.
Very rarely do I find a book I find hard to put down and read cover to cover in such a short space of time, but this was pure liquid nitrogen in the best possible way!
Part of me wants a sequel, and another part of me wants it to just be a stand alone book, a ‘one off’ kinda thing, y’know ...like the Bible.

Edit:

Seriously guys, any good decent Gay Fiction books you recomend thats of this standard? Theres so many lists on Amazon its all a bit intimidating where to start.
