A review by ericbuscemi
The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys by Chris Fuhrman

4.0

This was an nice, quick read that I finshed in one sitting (on a plane). I had seen the movie first, so my perception was admittedly skewed by the impressions the actors had made on the characters, but it did not make the book less enjoyable.

The most impressive aspect of the book was the way the author captured the awkward pre-teen years of the boys' lives.

As always, the book was better than the movie, albeit only slightly (I am a big fan of the movie, that is why I read the book in the first place).
