Alec Baldwin Doesn't Love Me and Other Trials of My Queer Life

Rating:
Summary: I am still laughing!
Review: Alec Baldwin Doesn't Love Me, is one of the funniest books that I have ever read. When I first started reading the book in the bookstore I found myself laughing out loud. I think I read the first three essays before I even made it to the cashier. Michael Thomas Ford's humorous attmept at exposing gay life is a great success.

Summary: Awesome! VERY insightful and funny!
Review: As a 33 year old budding queer, I saw this book, and started to read. I could hardly put it down! Ford's insights in to life and the queer life are so true to form. I already bought the next book(That's MR. Faggot to you!) and I can't wait to start reading it. Did anyone mention that Mr. Ford is VERY handsome?? Hmmmm?

Summary: Boy Am I Behind The Times!!
Review: Believe it or not, I just discovered these wonderful books. It's eerie how many of MTF's feelings echo my own. I HATE Streisand, and getting my picture taken. Ford shows us that EVERYTHING in out life doesn't necessarily revolve around our lifestyle. It's superb the way he balances all aspects of his life into a coehsive blend.

Summary: When Queer Means Unusual, Not What You Think
Review: Ford's description of his dinner with the nearly mummified Von Trapp family in Vermont is worth the price of the book alone. (No bounding Julie Andrews with guitar here.) I brought the book to work and read that chapter to everyone I knew. It always had them in stitches. One caveat though, for the die-hard gay literature fan, this is not the book for you if all you want is affirmation of being gay. In this respect the title is a bit misleading. But the humor is on the mark though, and as everyone else has said, hilarious to the max.

Summary: Really funny!
Review: I bought this book online despite the reviews of it being shallow and only somewhat funny. In reality it was hysterical... I rarely laugh out loud when reading books but this had me laughing all the time. I reccomend it to everyone.

Summary: Stranded In The Lonely Island Or On A USAirways
Review: I came across this book while visiting Washington, D.C. at Dupont Circle's "Books & Books". I wanted something to read for the boring flight back to Miami Beach. My boyfriend and I had a very nice experience sharing stories, reading to each other and laughing like idiots. I think his work helps us to look at our many problems objectively in a digestable way, he is rediscovering the plain gay life. Now I have to buy every book Michael Thomas Ford puts on the market and even reccomend them to our friends. Having recently moved to Boston, I hope I can attend a lecture by the Author.

Summary: A little insight in an insecure world...
Review: I have all of Michael Thomas Ford's books (just ordered the newest collection today!), and I'd have to say that him and I are pretty much alike. I'm glad that there are people out there that, like me, just don't get it. I thought I was the only one who worries about things such as the dog sleeping on the bed or my boyfriend not calling enough. It's nice to know there are some people out there who are neurotic as I am...

Summary: Shallow, "looks"ist humor
Review: I know many who enjoy this book; I found it not only shallow but downright offensive, particularly in the way its humor, about the protagonist's mother or about others, turns so often on shots at appearance.
