Customer Reviews

Fun, Useful Easy Read

I enjoyed Zambotti's book. It clearly is not intended as serious research, nor a complete scan of the spectrum of experiences, but a collection of observations drawn over time. I found moments I could identify with, and some I could not. And many moments that caused a chuckle. Because each person's recounting is only a paragraphy or so, it is an easy book to pick up and put down - i.e. read during TV commercials, while on a bus or subway, or even while stuck in rush hour traffic. Thanks, Mr. Z.

Powerful Stories of Childhood Brought back many memories

Enjoyable book with powerful stories of childhood that were taken from 11 countries in the Developed Western World including USA, Australia, Czech Republic, Germany, Canada, Mexico, Brasil, New Zealand, Costa Rica, South Africa and many others. This book brought back many memories of growing up. This was a fun comical read and great for a trip or a weekend getaway to laugh and share with friends. Since all the hundreds of stories are from different people they are all humorous and unique. All classes and ethnic backgrounds are included in the book. This was a great book of recollections of memories compiled and illustrated by famed bear-cartoonist Frisch. Screwy and hilarious things they did as children that should have made their eventual sexual identity clear to their parents. This book clearly verifies that gay identity is inborn, not a choice. Whether marching around in Mommy's heels, giving sister's Barbies a new hairstyle or innocently seducing the boy next door, the stories are incredibly funny and reported just as they were remembered.
