Customer Reviews

Honest, Amusing and Interesting

I completely disagree with the Kirkus review. This is an extremely honest, enjoyable and absorbing memoir. It's for anyone interested in the author himself; psychological development; the search for self-realization; or gay rights. Some of the chapters are both moving and funny--not a small accomplishment. The final chapter, about the author's heart attack and recovery, is particularly excellent. Forget the nasty reviews and read a memoir by someone searching for himself and fighting tirelessly for what he believes in.
