I LOVE THIS BOOK! Andreoli's pop culture references from porn stars to (sit down) Marie Osmond t-shirts make for a fun and clever read. My favorite are all of the TV Generation memories the author writes about in eery detail; it's as though he took a trip back in time and channeled this book.

It will be the stocking stuffer for all of my gay male friends this Christmas!!

Such an amazing read!! I could not put it down. A book that quotes both Cristal Connors (Gina Gershon) and Sylvia Fowler (Rosalind Russell) before the first chapter is definitely worth having on your shelf. Not to mention reminding us all of the contributions Jim J. Bullard has given to the world. Read it!

A very of-the-moment book on contemporary gay culture that encompasses a broad range of trends and fads. Tongue in cheek (like the cover model, literally) but also serious minded enough. Perhaps the only flaw of the book is the editor Richard Andreoli using this book to constantly remind us how hot he is. (He tries a gig as a go-go boy, with pictures, he talks about being admired by a group of men as he tries on a sexy swimsuit, he lets us know that Jennifer Garner complimented him on his bicep.) Richard, you are very handsome and look great but your constant need for affirmation shows that apparently the self-esteem has yet to catch up with him, and inadvertently showcases the less savory side of the gay world's oobsession with looks. Other than that, the book is lightweight, but good, fun.

Informative, funny, interesting...it's like a guide that every gay guy who lives a life in super style (not only talking about fashion here, but also in character) should have!!!

MONDO HOMO features many informative and entertaining articles, covering many facets of day to day living as a gay man. As it is an anthology, you can pick up and lay down at will, great for casual reading. It would be especially of interest to newly "out", closeted or gay-curious men. It might help them avoid some pitfalls and point them in a right or comfortable direction. Straight women should also find it very informative. The only downside is that it is now three years old. This is a fast changing world, so maybe an update or a Volume 2 is in order.
