Rating:  Summary: Blah... Review: There are a couple of good laughs in this book, the title story is funny, but overall the book is just average. Ford delivers a few chuckles, but mostly I was bored and wondering what all the fuss was about.
Rating:  Summary: Michael crabs on and on and on... Review: There are plenty other reviews written on this book already that pretty much say what I'd like to say. This author has a unique style of writing that I do not enjoy. He is bitter about his life, gay life, and American life. As in his other books, there are some fun one-line zingers, but mostly he just crabs on and on. Maybe as a stand-up comedian he is funny. As a writer, I found him intolerable. My partner, on the other hand, roars with laughter as he reads his books. To each his own.
Rating:  Summary: Funny but rather typical Review: There were some mildly funny parts to this collection of thoughts and essays, but I have to admit, some points seemed like typical city gay humor and bitchy retorts. The only part that stands out for me as funny is he recounting of gay history since ancient times. I kept on reading hoping that the beat would go back on track, but by the end, I was kind of glad it was over and disappointed that it was basically ... typical.
Rating:  Summary: Mr. Ford has another winner! Review: This book hits home just as well as "Alec Baldwin Doesn't Love Me" and "That's Mr. Faggot to You". I just cracked up when I read his Condensed History of Gay Pride as well as The Condensed Guide to First Dates. If you liked the first two books, you can't miss with this one.
Rating:  Summary: YAWN!!! Review: This book was utterly dull. Maybe my outlook on life is a bit different than Mikey's...but PLEASE. This is some tired reading material. Maybe I'm too young to relate to some of his anecdotes, to be honest I'm not sure, but I am sure that this book was no winner.His stories are dated, stereotypical, and above all BORING. Don't waste your money!
