Story4.5 out of 5 stars 425
Matt Lancaster is the star quarterback at Bodine College, a small Southern Division II school with an ultra-conservative dean of athletics. Matt is also very much in the closet, and he thinks he’s kept his secret well hidden, until his best friends take him to a happy endings massage parlor and request a male masseuse for him. In walks Trevor Kim, a gorgeous, pierced, tattooed fellow Bodine student who does massages - without happy endings - to pay for school after his family kicked him out for being gay. Trevor takes one look at Matt and breaks all his own rules about mixing business with pleasure.

The hot Texas nights were lonely for Ben before his heart began beating to the rhythm of two words; Tim Wyman. By all appearances, Tim had the perfect body and ideal life, but when a not-so-accidental collision brings them together, Ben discovers that the truth is rarely so simple. If winning Tim's heart was an impossible quest, keeping it would prove even harder as family, society, and emotion threaten to tear them apart. Something Like Summer is a love story spanning a decade and beyond as two boys discover what it means to be friends, lovers, and sometimes even enemies.

Jonas needs Tate. He just doesn't know it yet. Or at least he doesn't want to admit it. Because there is no way Jonas Ashcroft is gay. He's a straight, carefree frat boy player, just like any good son of a conservative state senator. If only his struggle to convince everyone - especially himself - didn't leave him so miserable. No matter how many girls or bottles he drowns himself in, Jonas can neither escape nor accept who he is.

David Sheff's story is a first: a teenager's addiction from the parent's point of view, a real-time chronicle of the shocking descent into substance abuse and the gradual emergence into hope.
Before meth, Sheff's son, Nic, was a varsity athlete, honor student, and award-winning journalist. After meth, he was a trembling wraith who stole money from his eight-year-old brother and lived on the streets. With haunting candor, Sheff traces the first warning signs, the attempts at rehabilitation, and, at last, the way past addiction. He shows us that, whatever an addict's fate, the rest of the family must care for one another, too, lest they become addicted to addiction.

The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed. Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr.

It is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' cliffside mansion on the Italian Riviera. During the restless summer weeks, unrelenting but buried currents of obsession, fascination, and desire intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them and verge toward the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy. André Aciman's critically acclaimed debut novel is a frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion.

"...Hammer's voice is brimming with such melody that, if you listen to it long enough, you can probably get drunk off it." (Vulture.com)
"...Armie Hammer (who plays Oliver in the movie) steps effortlessly into Elio's interior world. The result is staggering." (BookRiot)

Crying in public
That’s what the ending of this book had me doing. Crying in the middle of a restaurant, and immediately on the last words as read by Armie Hammer, rewinding to hear the last few minutes all over again. Then I wrote a love poem to my husband. Great book! Great performance.

Profound sensuality~
An absolutely beautiful, daring and complex novel! Aciman's economy of style is at once direct and poetic. He handles a controversial subject with such sensitivity, frankness and unabashed romanticism that swoons at every turn. Armie Hammer's rich baritone, and elegant reading is superb. I will return to this again and again.

Equal parts beautiful and heartbreaking
This story is both beautiful and heartbreaking. “Call Me By Your Name” is one of the most incredible novels to have ever written. This love story about Elio and Oliver will touch your heart and then break it into a million pieces. This is one of those novels and stories that will stay with you for the rest of your life. “Call Me By Your Name” is not only a brilliant masterpiece of LGBT literature, but it is also one of the greatest romance and coming of age stories to ever be written.

Masterful!
André Aciman has written a masterpiece in Call Me By Your Name. The ease of voice and the effortless flow of words through Elio’s point of view is exquisite. The exploration and journey of finding yourself and of sexual awakening, together with a sort of lust, makes this story even more relatable as we’ve all had unattainable crushes we wish would become something more. Now onto Armie Hammer’s magnificent performance. He nails the narration in CMBY and really encamptures the listener’s attention all throughout the story. Armie has a sort of non-chalantness to his voice that almost feels like he was born to read this story. All in all, with the masterful writing of Aciman and the beautiful narration by Hammer, this book deserves all of the praise and more.

I must be missing something
I wanted to love this book. I wanted to experience all that the other reviewers had experienced. Instead I found myself waiting for something to happen or to be deeply touched by something. The time wasted by the main characters is annoying and frustrating. The time spent listening to the book leaves me confused as to what I just spent so long listening to..... and why I spent that long listening.

From the first pages whip Elio’s longing, one can guess where the story is going and most likely where it will and. Still, it is full of surprises and turns. You will be happy and heartbroken for Oliver’s and Elio’s experience at the same time. You will be jealous for what they had and perhaps, the story will evoke something you’ve experience too. A must read!

Beautiful and bittersweet
A beautifully haunting and bittersweet love story that makes you ache and wish you could experience a love like it.
The narration by Armie is perfect. His smooth voice takes the story to a deeper level and makes you feel like it is playing out around you.
The movie should definitely be watched as well!

A homage the true love
Bold, honest, passionate, sensual and longing love and friendship story. A true homage to those who could not and still cannot lives their live showing true love.

Not what I expected!
A disclaimer may be needed, I had no idea what the content would be and I wasn't expecting this! The narration was very very good. I could listen to his voice all day long.

Unbelievably Uninteresting
Any additional comments?
A gay romance in 80s Italy between a 17 year old and a grown American man is not exactly the story that would spring to mind as boring.Yet this novel somehow does it.
The characters, especially Elio who's narrating, are wholly uninteresting. The narrative flips from English to Italian at times which is simply unhelpful and the abundance of obscure philosophical references does not really add anything - just magnifies the dullness of the characters. There is little genuine connection between Elio and Oliver, it feels less like actual love and more like obsessive lust that Elio feels towards Oliver, it feels there are far more words dedicated to describing Oliver's perfect physique than actual dialogue between the two characters, for example. It's not the kind of touching love story that you want to read about, but the kind of dull shallow love that most teenagers have.
Armie Hammer's voice narration is superb, but for me, that was the only highlight I can take from this audiobook.

Breathtaking and evocative.
I was fully enchanted by this text - Armie Hammer was convincing in his portrayal of Elio.
Beautifully written - filled me with joy and heartbreak in equal measure.

Sexy, sensual and beautiful
This book is so intimate and evocative I took to only listening to it when I was alone. Armie Hammer reads it beautifully and the descriptions of young love, Italy and summer are simply stunning. This book will hopefully make you remember your first intense love and the breathtaking beauty of intellect and acceptance.
A wonderful book for the open-minded.

Juicy
I felt I could really imagine what it’s like to be a wealthy academic in Italy in the 1980s. Stunning, emotional, sensual (the peach!), and Armie Hammer’s voice is perfect. Do yourself a favour!

Wonderful Experience
The author has done a brilliant job in narrating the story. very heart whelming and touching. It felt like I am living the life of Ellio not reading or hearing about his story. what a wonderful wonderful job. I am hungover with emotions even after finishing the book a while ago. The last sentence "when you shut the taxi door, look at me, hold my gaze and once more, call me by your name." gives me goosebumps. No more words other than a great and dear experience. Armie Hammer has done it again. without his voice and rendition skills, the book wouldn't be so enjoyable. Thanks Armie

An honest love letter in the form of a novel.
Formidably read, every angst filled chapter is true and honest and oh so relatable. Armie Hammer is reading from the point of view of the main character, and not the character he portrayed in the film adaptation. He does this gorgeously. Possibly one of the most important reads for any gay boy/teen/man and their families. Acimen is a genius.
