✓ Hornito: My Lie Life â Mike Albo
112 Mike Albo

Boxed set of three bestselling suspense stories by Lindsey Stiles
I m deep in the middle of this one.Basically author Mike Albo alternates between the preteen proto gay years of a character named Mike Albo and Albo s New York City adult existence full of loneliness, horniness, psychological dysfunction, psycho babble, brand worship, false friends, false starts, fleeting alliances, fashion faux pas s Albo has a keen eye and ear for cultural detritus and phony chit chat You know exactly the type of TV show apparel person he s talking about It s painful send up a [...]
a sad love story if you can call it that hopefully the real life sequel found love was hard to keep track of all the names and at times the jumping back and forth to the present and past reading about the youth era brought back my own memories of those times music, movies, tv.

It was an ok read, and I had a difficult time keeping track of all the names characters In addition, alternating between past and present was confusing.
A quirky tale that contrasts the complexities in life that come with growing up gay.
Such a command for precise, vivid language that pulls you in, amuses you, takes you on a ride, then moments sneak up where what s running beneath it all showcases itself, amazing moments of humor infusing shame and loneliness, and it s all just a really perfect combination.Does interesting things with form, too.
It was fun All the material about the character s childhood is hysterically, cringe inducingly accurate.
Not much happens in this book, but it was funny and seemed realistic.
Im still not sure if this was a real memoir or a fake one If it was fake, it was way too boring.
