Summary: Another winner
Review: With his fourth collection of essays, Michael Thomas Ford slips a little. I found his previous books to be more consistant with his typical wit, humor and insight. While the quality here is definately high and Mr. Ford certainly has his moments in this book, there are just too many essays that are serious. Some are to the point of being somber. "Dress Rehersal" is a prime example of this. While I am in favor of the examinations that make up our queer lives, the book is supposed to be mostly funny, isn't it?I am not discouraging the purchase of this book, since the writing is top notch. Just don't expect the rollercoaster of laughs from the previous collections.
