Gay Star Signs: How to Meet and Keep the Man of Your Dreams [Hardcover]

Max Bowman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 29, 2000

Gay Star Signs is a one-of-a-kind approach to astrology. All of its pages are split horizontally. Characteristics - like personality, body care, lifestyle, and career - of the 12 sun-signs are given on split-pages that are divided by color-coded strips with symbols. The top half of the split page represents the sun sign; the bottom tells readers what to expect from a particular sign in different areas of their life. The split pages allow readers to check their compatibility with friends, workmates - and, of course, lovers and partners, by comparing information on the top of the page with a quick flip to the corresponding flap below-thereby revealing their compatibility and highlighting the strongest and weakest connections.

3.0 out of 5 stars All that Glitter is not Gold, November 4, 2003

This review is from: Gay Star Signs: How to Meet and Keep the Man of Your Dreams (Hardcover)

Don't be fooled by the snazzy layout and colourful ensemble that make up this book. If you are a beginner to astrology and would like some eye candy and lavish colours to go with your reading, this is the book for you. But the serious student is advised to read other books. Though the categories explored in each of the twelve signs are diverse (Work, Home, etc.), the information is very superficial and can easily be applied to any of the signs at once. Ethics and compatibility charts are limited to squinting boxes at the bottom of each strip layout. Romantic images of men together abound throughout mainly as a feel-good attraction, with a few erotic nudes here and there and a plethora of colourful flora and fauna to top it all off. The book's clever design is meant for quick comparisons between signs and not very useful for in-depth exploration of different combinations.

Beneath the lavish exterior, this is mainly a book of correspondences and quick consultations. It is really an escapist realm for the lovelorn man, an astrology picture book for grown-ups. Though it is nice to lose yourself in its feel-good and self-assuring attitude for a few hours, serious astrologers won't find much use for this. You'll be paying mostly for the images and not the words.
