Customer Review: First off let me state that the first half of this book was well written. When you get to the middle of the book it goes straight downhill. I really didn't need to experience the vivid details of his first gay experience. I don't care in what fashion it has to do with this bizarre story, and if the... more info
Customer Review: Author Randy Shilts was a journalist before he became a best selling author ("And The Band Played On", "Conduct Unbecoming: Gays and Lesbians in the U.S. Military"). His chronicling of the life of Harvey Milk from New York to San Francisco bears witness to the everyman struggles of gay men of that... more info
Customer Review: I began reading reviews for this book to decide if I wanted to read it. Sadly, in the first few lines of each review, I came across various spoilers that ruined parts of the book for me. I was pissed.

Customer Review: Great book. Very informative, altho I'd say it is geared more towards women who are inexperienced, new to Lesbianism or are not too familiar with the female body. Wouldn't be on my top 5 to recommend if you're past all the basics and looking for something new or deeper.
Customer Review: Did not enjoy reading this book as I thought I would. Could not even finish reading the book. I think the style of writing did not suit me. Would recommend instead "Toward a new psychology for women" by Jean Baker Miller- more concise and to the point. Perhaps my expectations were too high after... more info
Customer Review: Of course Butler's books on gender are breathtaking classics and receive 5 stars from me in their print editions. I assign them all the time in my Gender Studies class. But this Kindle edition is messy. This is the problem I keep finding with the Kindle editions. It's insulting of Amazon to assume... more info
