Fleeing an abusive father, fourteen-year-old Radboy takes to the road with Jonnyboy, an older friend and mentor who is the only person Radboy believes he can trust. On the bus headed out of town they hook up with Finn and Critter, a couple of speed-freak boyfriends who take a shine to both of them. They also meet Ula, who is mourning the death of her fiancó and taking a trip across the United States in his memory. The five become fast allies, united by personal loss and by the allure of intimacy only friends in the throes of conflict can understand. When Jonnyboy drops out of sight, Radboy stays behind in San Francisco, where the underground world he has been introduced to inspires his own burgeoning sexual and emotional desires.
Quote: 1. The book with embedded fonts (epub). This should be working with the iBooks at least. Since the author or publisher had put the information about two fonts used in this book (Fairfield and GillSans) — it is not often happens in the regular books — I decided that it is important to preserve these fonts, if possible.
2,3. The book without embedded fonts. In this variants: any 'serif' font instead Fairfield font; any 'monospace' font (mobi) or any 'bold style' font (epub) instead GillSans font. (I tried to coerce iBooks to use the built-in monospace font, but I failed. I have no idea why. The iBooks app is very unpredictable in such matters.) The book looks simpler, but all important text highlights won't be disappearing (I hope) on the way through various gadgets and apps. This variants are less graceful but more universal.
The book contains quite crazy funny language in some places, something like a sms-slang, I guess. Therefore, in addition to the usual OCR errors, there could be anything. I'm and my FineReader not always had able to separate there 'bugs' from 'features'. I beg to understand and forgive. )
