Does it really matter who wrote it? It's a great piece of work. Whoever wrote it should be getting whatever credit they're getting. I have not felt as satisfied in reading a work such as this in a long time. The way the words are strung together are so very original and stylish that it makes those words seem over used in other lesser, laughable books.

It's as if you're getting wrapped up in a musicians personal life and not even listening to the music.

This review is from: Jeremiah (Hardcover)

Just saying J.T. exists doesn't make it so, especially since it isn't true. I know the person and people perpetuating this hoax, and there isn't a single real J.T. Leroy in the bunch. No amount of wishing or saying otherwise will change that. By this time next year the debate and speculation will be mostly over, and J.T. will be no more than a sad idea that did itself in by a miscalculated desire to continue fooling people in the face of an unwinding and undeniable truth.

I have yet to read this book but after reading all the negative reviews I am buying the whole series.

I think that fact that she was able not only to write books of literature but also make an entire persona up just tells me that she must be a very talented person. Some said the books are good if they were written by a 19 year old but since they are written by a middle age woman they are horrid. I believe the opposite. I think it is intriguing that she could also write as though she was her made up person.

You people who left such negative reviews about this book based solely on the news channels and papers about her should be ashamed. You should start to read books to enjoy them not because of who they are written by. In other words get a life and stick to the picture books that way you will never be disappointed when life doesn't go your way!!!
