Summary: A Funny, Lighthearted Read
Review: "Drama Queen" is a perfect summer book: amusing and a quick read. Many of us know people like those described in the book, and it's kind of fun to classify the people we know into the different categories laid out in the book.

The key is not to take the advice in the book too seriously -- the author doesn't seem to. There are some good general common sense guidelines that most of most of us seem to forget for dealing with the drama life throws at us.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fabulous read! Great advice! Really CUTE cover boys!
Review: All the humor and wry wit of HUSBAND HUNTING MADE EASY is here again, along with a maturing perspective on what it means to be gay. Price is astute in his observations, merciless in his criticisms, and just plain laugh-out-loud funny!

He obviously knows of what he writes. The urban gay male is fully exposed--chiseled biceps, withering insecurities, and shopping fetishes intact.

SEX AND THE CITY has nothing on these Queens--Sunday brunch with the boys of Drama's Roll Call would make an afternoon with Carrie and Company seem like a visit to Shady Pines!

Read on, and let the DRAMA unfold!

Summary: <yawn>
Review: Do we really need another book on how to live our lives? As gay men, we scream out for diversity and tolerance. Unfortunately, Mr. Price seems to want to "pigeon-hole" us into nice little categories. The book may be okay IF you 1)never leave NYC, 2)are financially secure, 3)are white, and 4)have a 30" waist. Those of use who are "sociodemographically challenged" should find this book quite hegemonic. My advice: pass.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Save your opinions for someone who cares, Mr Price
Review: I bought this book in the hope that it would be light-hearted humor, in the vein of Kevin Dilallo's "The Unofficial Gay Manual". It's not. It's Patrick Price's heavy-handed lecture on "How All Gay Men Need to Fix Their Lives". The only drama queen in this book is the author.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Interesting, isn't it?
Review: I have to point out that having read all seven of the reviews for this book, it seems as though the ones who rated this book so low have written reviews that border on the dramatic anyway! Who's being the drama queen now, guys? ;)

Seriously, for many of us, Price's book doesn't really apply. However, there are a couple of places where there are grains of good advice and even -- gasp! -- truth. Read it for the fun of it. Certainly I don't think even Patrick Price would say it should be a gay man's guide to life. Have fun with it!

Review: Read the first 40 pages if you want a laugh, then throw the book away. The book reads like a Men's Health article on how to get your life in order. Save the drama and avoid this book.

Summary: the unbearable lightness of being......
Review: this book is one of the most lightweighted, unintelligent and meaningless books targeted toward gay readers I have ever come across. The writers hopeless attempt to be a sort of funny, but still real advisor in nearly embarrising to witness. Its so full of cliches and useless nonsense that anyone, in or out of the closet, rich or poor, better save their time -AND MONEY.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: the unbearable lightness of being......
Review: Well, for anyone who has read, "The Boyfriend Within", this adds a fun and sassy twist on that book. It is good for those who are looking for some direction in their life, and not looking to be the next flaming queen at the clubs who can never seem to keep his latest beau. If you are growing out of the 'scene' and looking for a new direction in your life, this is a GREAT find! Funny, sassy, and helpful...
