Review: ...they offer a lot of advice about trends that started to show its age (mid-1990's) during a recent re-read. It's time for an updated second edition.

Summary: A Little too Close to be Funny
Review: A laughing friend thrust this book into my hands, saying that it had really made him laugh. I took it home, and sat down with it, and started to chuckle. But by the end of the book, I wasn't laughing nearly as much as I thought I would.Here's the deal: It's not really all that funny, because although it's right on the nose and pokes a lot of fun at our own gay ideosyncracies, the book is also showing just how shallow, lacking, and fundamentally messed up gay culture is. Now, I'm certainly not going to say that this wasn't a pleasure to read, it just left me with a melancholy feeling: Gosh, isn't it sad that we're pretty much just a joke. It was fun, but sometimes bitter, light, but sometimes kind of mean, this book seems to adeptly sum up the so-called gay culture: Laughable, but not all that funny sometimes, and very often pretty damned sad and lacking in self-esteem.

Summary: Feh.
Review: About as stereotypical as you can get without being Liberace. And not half so funny or insightful as the authors would have you believe. To quote one of my favorite Queens, "We are not amused".

Summary: Whimsical and true to life too.
Review: Delightful, expert mixing of deadpan-style narration and photographs. Thoughtfully-written work is another fabulous creative triumph for gay and lesbian brethren. I recommend "...Living The Lifestyle" for skeptical "straight" folks as a great ice-breaker, conversation-starter, and laugh-inducer. So much in book sounds "true to life", e.g., beginning and ending relationships in tongue-in-cheek manner. Just seeing the cover of this book always brings a genuine smile to my 37-year-old face. Carefree guy.

Summary: Wonderful,Witty, and Whacky.
Review: From ten things not to say to your mother when coming out. To were the best place to live. The top cd's every gay man should own to magz. My favorite part is the quotes from movies and actors. If you want to have a good laugh and to learn something along the way then this is the book for you. Happy reading.

Summary: If you're GAY and don't have this already... *Spanky spanky!
Review: I've bought probably over 10 copies of this book and have given it out as gifts to all my close friends (gay or straight, who cares) and have been thanked many times over. The layout has variety, the content is humorous (but very TRUE-to some extent), and provides an appealing way of being everything from fashionable to down right NAUGHTY. A must buy for gay people who really need "a clue."

Summary: No gay man should be without this book!
Review: This book is simply fantastic. It is the handbook of every gay man (and woman). Geared towards the male point of view, this book covers everything from coming out to settling down with your partner. Most of all, it is hilarious. You will be proud to be gay when you read this great book.
