Editorial Reviews

Review
"Often suddenly laugh-out-loud funny, sometimes surprisingly moving, always right on target." -- Allan Neuwirth, Co-creator, “Chelsea Boys” syndicated comic strip

“In the lively world of Kevin Isom’s essays, he brings light, humor and common sense.” -- Rudy Kikel, Arts & Lifestyles Editor, Bay Windows, Boston

“With a uniquely Southern perspective, Kevin Isom sees the serious side of the ridiculous.” -- Rand Hall, Editor, The Gazette, Tampa

Product Description
Humorist Kevin Isom takes on issues ranging from gay marriage—he says do it for the gifts—to show tunes—is there really a gene? His take is humorous and upbeat. But Isom doesn’t hesitate to skewer the absurd, like the Defense of Marriage Act—were we protecting marriage from Saddam Hussein?—and trends like chest shaving—can we talk trimmed, not shaved?

5.0 out of 5 stars Hysterically funny and so true, April 19, 2000
By Edward James (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
It's nice to see a really happy gay person writing about our lives, and making fun of the silly gay AND straight stuff. This is a must read for every gay person--and our straight friends. It'll keep you laughing around the water cooler at the office...

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and so true., April 25, 2000
By A Customer
Kevin Isom has a great eye for life's absurdities, and a knack for skewering hypocrites and posers. He's also not above poking a little fun at himself, particularly when it comes to his own dating history. His observations are so funny, precisely because they are SO true. You'll recognize yourself in this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Boy, this made me laugh!, January 28, 2002
By Sam (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews
Bought this book for my partner as gift and he loved it! So I had to read it as well and Mr. Isom has a gifted way of making the mundane funny. "Gay power" is really live and kicking with this one. Buy it, definitely!
