5.0 out of 5 stars What a piece of work...., December 12, 2000

By 

Kat (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Love, Sal (Paperback)

Funny how some experiences and drives transcend gender, age and sexual orientation. I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me? Sure, but it also made me think, and reexamine issues I had thought resolved. I suppose one of the points made by the book is that the issues which are truly important are never truly resolved, and always bear further examination. I'm very glad to have come upon this book. My thanks go out to those who convinced the author to compile his cross-country musings into a piece for all to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gay Video Director Endorses This Book!, December 8, 2000

By 

Jett Blakk (Hollywood, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Love, Sal (Paperback)

I'm Jett Blakk, director of such gay adult fare as LEATHER VIRGIN, the LEATHER INTRUSION series and DAMNATION: HELL IN LEATHER, and I would like to add my five cents here.

Let me assure you that "Love, Sal" is right on target in its depiction of the San Francisco leather scene, and Mr. Iacopelli's adventures make for some of the hottest, most intense and funniest moments I've read in some time. From examples of loving S&M to untrustworthy trust issues to the joys of leather to the complex, emotional conflicting mental states of a desire to be controlled and a fear of giving up control, this book runs the gamut of things you desire and things that repulse you...and keeps you laughing the entire time.

It will turn you on, it will make you wince, it will open your eyes and it will open your mouth...with laughter. Mostly with laughter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dear Sal,, December 4, 2000

By 

"leatherpigjim" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Love, Sal (Paperback)

From the first moment I started to read Love, Sal, I had a very difficult time putting it down. In fact, I was so mesmerized I almost missed my "El" stop on my way home from work. Sal, you made me laugh. You made me cry. You gave me hard-ons. And, at times, I thought I was reading MY own letter to a friend! Sometimes, all of these feelings within two pages!

I didn't realize that you and I (and all gay men?) have so much in common. You touched on many emotions and feelings that I, too, have had in dealing with life, sex, drugs, and relationships. I envy you for having the balls to put it all down for all to read. Thanks for sharing your journey.

Love, Jim
