Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Dear Diary, today I woke up, had lunch with a girlfriend, went shopping, and had sex reassignment surgery. Although you won't find that particular sentence in this male-to-female transsexual memoir, it sums up its tone. Writing in a journal-like style, Rose maps out her transition from Eddie to Lannie, but her delivery lacks depth, particularly compared to several penetrating and well-executed transsexual memoirs in recent months. Writing in clipped sentences, Rose more often opts for glibness than for insight. The 42 very short chapters, with titles like Lannie Gets Her Ears Pierced Two-Hundred-Dollar Jeans and Inside the Women's Locker Room tend to be focused on the superficial trappings of femininity. Overwhelmed with finally being allowed to play with the girls Lannie is like a child lost in a candy store, except that instead of candy, it's shoes, makeup, clothes and breasts. There are brief moments when she succeeds in letting us into her deeper experiences, but even the chapter called My Spiritual Journey doesn't reveal too much. Though she offers a snapshot of one person's joys and journey through an important transition, the result isn't quite poignant enough to be enthralling, nor humorous enough to be sheerly entertaining.

Product Description
In the battle between the sexes, he's her own worst enemy Do you know about the great gender divide over clean underwear? I didn't either, until I changed my sex. When I stopped living as a man and began living as a woman, I learned about clean underwear and many other remarkable things, such as: My life may have been easier if I had just been gay. Sex reassignment surgery hurts! So does electrolysis. You truly can become anything your heart desires, as long as you are true to yourself. Thus begins the real-life memoir of Lannie Rose, a regular guy who, at the age of 49, decided to live as a woman. Six months later, he underwent extensive surgery to become a woman. From his unusual childhood to her present life as a woman, Lannie Rose writes frankly about the huge social and physical conflicts she faces...as well as the challenge of using the women's locker room and finding sexy size 13 sandals. Triumphant, poignant, shocking, hilarious and extremely informative, Lannie! is above all else a woman's story of her search for herself and her faith in her own decisions. Rose's upbeat attitude and entertaining writing style make this account of a serious, sensitive subject a joy to read.
