Out of line with Michael Thomas Ford's typical works of erotic fiction, this collection is a brilliant and life-changing must have for any and every gay man, woman, and child. Well maybe not the very young, but definitely anyone coming to terms with his sexuality and living the life less ordinary.
A great read through and through, you'll laugh yourself silly and maybe even shed a tear or two.
READ THIS BOOK!

I enjoyed this book very much. Usually I don't like compilation books, but I had no expectations going into it. I had already read the author's "Last Summer" and "Looking for It", and enjoyed them immensely. So I picked this up for a ridiculously low price, and read it within a few days.

The stories are entertaining, sometimes even downright hilarious, and always told with Ford's usual flair. I found myself reading between the lines in certain stories, as if he was speaking directly to ME (or about me) through each chapter. That gave it a personal warmth and connexion that I really liked. I could really relate to a lot of what he was saying.

But I would place this book somewhere between the humour section and the gay literature section of the bookstore. It achieves the best of both worlds, and none of the worst. I will definitely continue to enjoy this author's work.

MTF is a wonderful, entertaining, gifted writer. Like I am with Sade albums, I am with MTF books---i'll buy on the day its released!
