Summary: By no means a serious study of GayHollywood, but a good read
Review: ...nonetheless. This book is not a distasteful one unlike a vast majority of books about gays in Hollywood. It is also quite entertaining and should be regarded only as such: an entertaining book on a summer's day... In this case it does not really matter, whether the material is credible or not. If you do not take what you read TOO SERIOUSLY, then you will enjoy this book. If you want some serious study about gay actors, then look some place else for it.

Summary: Beef Jerky for the Brain
Review: As one reader comments, this book is "a must for any serious Hollywood History library." Yes--in the same sense that the complete works of Ed Wood belong in every comprehensive home video collection.

Summary: Deeper analysis of being gay in Hollywood
Review: Ehrenstein's book is a fine overview of Hollywood's treatment of gay and lesbian actors/actresses. There was a lot in the book that I was not aware of, and I've been a dedicated movie fan for five decades. He surprised even me with anecdotes about people I never "suspected". I'll be sure to seek out his earlier works, and am waiting for the next book.Dish on, David!

Summary: Much Ado about Nothing
Review: It seems odd that this book, with its good intentions, would just be so unsatisfying as a read. You almost get the feeling that the author is on the outside of Hollywood looking in. He seems to be obsessed with Ellen. The book has a certain bitterness to it that doesn't play well. I couldn't in all honesty recommend purchasing this book. Though if you find it at a public library, might be worth flipping through- but not checking out.
