I will be in the minority here but Boy's Life did not work for me. I had high expectations based on all the love it gets. The overall story fell flat for me. The Listener was a much more enjoyable book for me.

I loved The Listener as well, I thought it was brilliant. (And one of the pivotal characters from Boy's Life appears in The Listener.)

Regarding King recommendations. I utilize the recommendations of Stephen King just as I do all others. They give me something to look into, most likely something I am not familiar with. If it looks like something I would enjoy I read it.

The only McCammon book I've never been crazy about is Swan Song. I've read it twice, and it just doesn't hold together for me.
