Book Review: Can I Have Some More?
Summary: 5 Stars
Like most readers of The Memoirs of A Beautiful Boy, you don't want the story to end. You feel cheated that the book wasn't 800 pages! His mother is like no other (unless they grow 'em like this in Texas!). She isn't the joy that Kevin Sessums' mother was in Mississippi Sissy (which is one of the best books ever written). Yet, you really get to understand her through all her dramatics because she truly loves that son of hers. I can't help but remember those sections of the book where Mother is at the beauty parlor and/or getting other "treatments." Leleux really has the knack for details and stretching them out until you are rolling on the floor. So, for pure joy, and a Mother out of a nighmare, get this book and pray that another one follows. Robert Leleux has earned the right with this book to join the inner circle with Augusten Burroughs, David Sedaris and Kevin Sessums. What an honor it is for us to be able to enjoy the works of these four spectacularly talented people.
