Lazy and uninteresting

Revisado: 02-17-25

Seems the author was lazy and too tired to do original research. Observations aren’t creative or all that interesting nor intelligent. It was a tiring read through a fascinating subject

Good lessons and experiences

Revisado: 09-25-24

It’s a good read. This book highlights some good practices and interesting experiences…. but for me his handling of the issue is a bit shallow, predictable, and obvious.

Disappointment

Revisado: 03-15-23

Rambling, undisciplined, unstructured and low production value. It’s a disappointment and seems like a missed opportunity. It seems dishonest, with silly and shallow stereotypes. This pretends to represent gay community and it’s tired stereotype itself. The blog alternates between earsplitting yelling/laughing/cackling into the microphone, and whispering. It has terrible production value. Occasionally good content, surrounded by nervous, stereotypically woke ramblings.

Silly spin of stereotypes

Revisado: 06-26-22

This book has its moments, but plays into several tired, shallow stereotypes and doesn’t even handle them originally or artfully. In one example, the bigoted dismissal of a gay character who doesn’t fall in line with the “gay political majority” turned tired into ugly. There’s too much of this unintelligent ugliness, playing to the basest in us, in the real world…. I don’t need a book that attempts to brainwash me into “correct” thinking, in the guise of “good gay dogma,” while actually discouraging true diversity of thought. I was hoping for an uplifting, intelligent story. Big disappointment.

This book captures the Democratic hypocrisy and blind spot to the very ideals they smugly and cynically cite.

Revisado: 01-24-20

As the author states, “If Democrats impeach a duly elected Republican for purely partisan reasons today then republicans can push to do the same thing to a Democrat tomorrow.” This is so true, and as the Democrats have made clear from BEFORE day one, the ONLY concern of the Democratic representatives has been to overturn the will of the people in electing President Trump at every moment. I am genuinely and deeply concerned for President Trump’s comments and behavior, but I’m far more concerned and disturbed with the desire and willingness of the Democratic leadership to sell out America’s values for their selfish, cynical, transparent, all consuming hunger for power. They have shown their proclivity and willingness to renegotiate and redefine all words and labels at the altar of their greed and lust for power. My main protest to this book is its dishonesty. It doesn’t hold Democrats, nor their words, nor their behavior accountable to this standard.

Shallow propaganda piece

Revisado: 10-23-19

This was largely a one sided propaganda piece on a man who is “beyond any critical comment,” enforced by law. I learned some things on Brunei but found this book silly and dishonest in that “the Sultan could do no wrong.”

Disappointing waste of an opportunity

Revisado: 01-23-19

This book was bad; a disappointing series of assumptions which played into the fears of simple-minded, bumper-sticker philosophers. It was an offense to MLK’s example, the boldness that made MLK such a hero of thought and ideals. It was dumb and silly. It was angry and it was shallow. The struggle against the one dimensional silliness of racism continues with my deletion of this book. We are too in need of quality moral leadership to give in to the word play and sophomoric jingoism of the stupid rantings in this book. A waste.

Shallow and petty

Revisado: 08-04-18

Disappointing since this revealed itself as an opportunity for a stereotype to angrily and hatefully rail against hate and anger. I discovered it as a hypocritical and sad addition to the very few books available to gay men seeking progressive thought which avoids stupid and shallow simplicity. I appreciate the honesty which had me sparing at 4/5 star review.... but the silly, self-excusing, and shallowly accusing stereotype was very disappointing. I like the writing and some of the views, but it was truly surprising how braggadocios was the anti-red, anti-republican, anti-macho, anti-closeted... basically anti-anything that wasn’t flamboyant pro-Beyoncé. Tired and lame.

Nice narrator with annoying mouth sounds

Revisado: 07-01-18

I had to end this early since the story, though incredibly compelling, was distracted by the end list saliva problem and noisemaking with the narrator’s mouth… I’ll finish reading it or get a different version, but this is the first audible I’ve always listened to you where the mouth sounds made by a narrators’s swallowing and mouth sounds was incessant an annoying… Can’t you edit these things out?? It’s unfortunate because the story was great otherwise, as were the narrators voice skills.
