Rating:
Summary: Fabulous.
Review: An engaging narrative that makes it difficult for the reader to put down. The fantastic quality of this book is not just the history and the story..but how much the author's voice, wit, wisdome and beauty, comes across..loud and clear..it is like having a 200 page conversation with Bambi in your boudoire..telling you all about the glam, the glitz, dish, and the juice of her fabulous life.
Ultimately, it is a book that shows how to be true to oneself with dignity and a sense of humor.- in other words Unsinkable to circumstance and time.....a la the Unsinkable Ms Lake...

Summary: BAMBI LAKE IS A TALL LIAR!
Review: I am an original Cockette, my name was Big Daryl. Since New York, I have gone by Kreemah Ritz. The Cockettes called Bambi Lake Johnny Mincer, because he was always trying to mince in on the Cockette action. He could neither sing or dance or deliver lines or look good in a costume, just a few of the criteria to join the Cockettes. His book is full of lies, but most people slandered in the book could care less and are ignoring the fact. I just think the public should know the other side of the coin, and file this book under "Fantasy". Contact me at [e-mail] for further comment.

Summary: Smart, enjoyable, and truthful (I don't know about factual)
Review: I became curious about Bambi Lake after hearing Justin Bond sing several of her songs in NYC. She's a marvelous songwriter. The book was great--really evoked a particular time and energy that just doesn't exist right now in queer life. The book is witty and fabulous--also touching and smart. I can't attest to the factual basis of all her stories, but they certainly ring true in the larger sense. The book was money well-spent.

Review: Loved it. Best of all is Bambi's own story, which is compelling. A must-read for anyone with gender confusion!
