Dykes to Watch Out for

Summary: I'm so glad I bought this book
Review: I borrowed this book from a friend and finally had to buy my own copy because I liked it so much. I sometimes miss these "standalone" cartoons, even though I really like her later works with Mo and the gang. I now have all of Alison Bechdel's books and can't wait for the next ones

Summary: A Slice of Life
Review: I first found Ms. Bechdel's work in, of all places, a science fiction bookstore. I was in the mood for cartoon books, picked up hers, and noticed that her characters had four fingers to go with their thumbs, were mostly female, had women of all races and shapes, and they were drawn in a reasonably anatomically correct manner.

Although I am not a lesbian (but am a friend of the family), I was drawn to the richness and humanity of Bechdel's characters. When I saw the drawing of one woman cowering under the bedcovers and her partner going after a stray bat (animal) with a tennis racket, I roared with laughter and took the book to the checkout line.

If you are straight and want a gentle and humorous look into lesbian life or are lesbian and just want a warm "me too" kind of chuckle, this is the book for you.

Summary: Lesbian humor from an insider is much funnier on first read
Review: This is the first book by Alison Bechdel I read, and it captivated me. I was rolling on the floor with laughter at times. Clearly one of her earlier works, it lacks the storyline of her later efforts. Still, the humor is excellent and subtly educational

Summary: About the "Lesbian Nation"
Review: When I first read this book I became fascinate with the story, the characters seems to be very representative of the so call "Lesbian Nation" about the sisters and queers. Also establish the transformation suffer by the lesbian "type" between the decades of 1960, 1970,1980 and 1990.
