.True Selves: Understanding Transsexualism--For Families, Friends, Coworkers, and Helping Professionals
City Travel Guides > Books > Gay and Lesbian
by: Mildred L. Brown, Chloe Ann Rounsley

March 24, 2003
While there are several things about this book that disappoint me, specifically the author's apparent inability to call a person by their proper pronouns or names and the idea that people who were abused are not/cannot be transsexual, it's a good place to start as long as you keep in mind that basing your entire opinion on a subject based on the views in ONE book is NOT a good idea.

The book is fairly easy to read, can have it's shining moments and can be a great help to both transsexual and their family and friends alike. It shouldn't be shunned, but it also shouldn't be taken as the Gospel Truth-- it's not, but that doesn't automatically make it worthless.

I would recommend "Trans Forming Families" (I forget the author) over ... Read More:

.Sure of You (Tales of the City Series, V. 6)
City Travel Guides > Books > Gay and Lesbian
by: Armistead Maupin

January 07, 1994
The Tales of The City series comes to a bittersweet, and for some devoted fans of the series, startling conclusion with Sure Of You. Maupin does have his characters and the readers who have grown to love them face some hard truths. Dramatic changes occur and old bonds are broken, but after all the upheaval, new possibilities emerge and what had seemed to be a sobering conclusion transforms into a promising new beginning.

Some cynics have claimed this is the book that turns the likeable and ambitious character of Mary Ann Singleton into a driven and cold-hearted monster. These cynical readers are wrong and have missed the nuances of Maupin's story. Admittedly, Maupin is particularly kind in his portrayal of Mary Ann; however, he is not entirely ... Read More:

.Moab Is My Washpot
City Travel Guides > Books > Gay and Lesbian
by: Stephen Fry

July 01, 2003
Stephen Fry recounts his childhood and teenage years with honesty and candor. Whenever I read an autobiography I'm prepared for some bias and self-absorption, but Fry's book seems to be a sincere attempt to be candid and reflect upon his past. The autobiography feels relatively uncensored as he writes about mischief at boarding school, unrequited love, making use of a stolen credit card, and a suicide attempt during his teenage years. It's all presented with humor and little, if any, self-aggrandizement. I finished the book feeling as though I had read his carefully thought-out musings and insights on life and certain topics in general, rather than simply a retelling of the events that had occurred his own life.

I love this series! The characters and plot are comprehensive and endearing. Even the secondary characters are pretty well developed. The situations are hilarious and the sex is steamy. All and all a great read. Definitely worth your time!

.The Prince's Angel
City Travel Guides > Books > Gay and Lesbian
by: Mychael Black

August 26, 2008
Hmmm....wow. I think in this instance I would like to give more than five stars. "The Prince's Angel" is a finely crafted urban fantasy with a beautiful gay romance at the heart. And with it, they take slow built passion to a new level. The two protagonists dance around each other, and their own feelings, suffering a lot of angst in the process. Quite delicious, really, as is the sex when they finally give in to one another. This is not to say there is a lack of horizontal action in the book; it just enhances the story rather than being the story. Oh, and the authors took the trouble to build a plot with mystery and action too. Naughty authors.

In the 1970's, vampires' existence was revealed to the world. In the present, they have rights, but also a ruling body with ... Read More:

I love this whole series. There are some issues in this book that were very disturbing to me, but I'm so attached to the characters I really need to find out what happens to them. While I may not love everything the characters do, I want to continue the journey with them! I cannot get them out of my mind!
