Boy Meets Boy

By: David Levithan

Narrated by: Nicholas Robideau, the Full Cast Family

What if you went to a school where it was actually all right to be who you really are? That's the enchanting place David Levithan has created in his highly acclaimed first novel. But even if the gay kids and the straight kids all get along just fine, even if it's all right for the quarterback to be a cross dresser named Infinite Darlene and the cheerleaders to ride Harleys into the pep rally, the road to true love is still a strange and winding path, as Paul discovers when he meets the boy of his dreams. Charming, funny, delightful, and utterly heartwarming, this YA novel speaks with clarity and depth about our need to love and be loved.©2003 David Levithan (P)2005 Full Cast Audio

Critic reviews

"In its blithe acceptance and celebration of human differences, this is arguably the most important gay novel since Nancy Garden's Annie on My Mind." (Booklist)
"Levithan's prophecy of a hate-free world in which everyone loves without persecution makes this a provocative and important read for all young adults, gay or straight." (School Library Journal)

Very Entertaining

What did you love best about Boy Meets Boy?

Provided a view of the world as it could be if everyone were free to be who they are.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Paul because of the way he was always self adjusting yet accepting of who he is.

What does Nicholas Robideau and the Full Cast Family bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

This was the 1st book I have listened to where each character had a differnt reader. Made for great listening. Really brought the story to life.

Any additional comments?

I bought this based on reviews because I was in a hurry to leave for a road trip and needed something to listen to. Being more than 30 years out of high school, I thought I would have no interest. This enlightened look at what the world could be without hate kept me glued to car stereo.

Delightful story

this is a cute story of how life and love should be for LGBTQ youth. I recommend that if you have an LGBTQ teen in your life get it for them.

Excellent presentation of a wonderful book!

I listen to a lot of audio books and I found this to be one of my favorites. The cast was truly amazing and the music transitions were perfect. Of course the book is a wonderful story and touched me deeply. Thank you Full Cast for bringing the book to life!

adorable

i loved this book, i just wanted to hug all the characters. i don't think there's anything wrong with imagining a world where the football stars and trannies get along. the tough reality of being a gay teen in some places is definitely still in there with one of the characters. and for the record, i'm a girl who went to prom with a girl and had no problems - this book is nowhere near total fantasy as implied by some reviewers.

Bad...

It’s so boring that I couldn’t finish the book

The voice actor doesn’t have a very soothing voice
I hate it
