Excellent Coming of "Old Age" Guide,
By Bryan Cervantes (Irvine, CA.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gay Men and Aging (Garland Studies on the Elderly in America) (Hardcover)
Hi, my name is Bryan, originally from Diamond Bar, and I just wanted to say that this book is a 'must-read' for young and old alike. I would just LOVE to meet the author at dinner and just say "thanks for the reminder".... Not only does it empathize with the older reader, it could actually benefit the younger "Generation Y2K" gay male, so young, so immortal, so full of life, wild, eternally youthful and invincible. This book brings it home, and reminds us all that we are all going to get there at some point, that we are all humans and will someday 'grow old'-not too many want to face that thought(especially here in the Glittery-Glamour World that is the gay community. And, when it DOES happen, a book like this really helps out (but why wait til then? ) I was terrified of that thought.....til I read the book....this is essential coffee table material for all....

Who Knew?,
By Agnes Menderthal (Pomona, Calif.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gay Men and Aging (Garland Studies on the Elderly in America) (Hardcover)
I knew these kids when they were in college at Cal Poly Pomona. Then, I knew that they'd make something of themselves, but to see them actually put out a book....well, it just brings a tear to my eye...
