A heartbreaking tale of hope and change

Revisado: 04-23-25

This book is inspiring and empowering. It inspired me to take up the microphone during a protest at my state capitol to speak about my experience as a non-binary person. I think anyone who wants a better understanding of trans issues or trans folks who want to feel inspired should read this. Brilliant, heartfelt, sweet, and tragic. Thank you for inspiring me, Sarah

Hilariously personal

Revisado: 12-08-23

Rob bears all: heart, soul, butthole. A truly moving and fascinating look into momentous occasions in a man's life. I laughed until I cried twice in the first few chapters. it's so human and relaable that i have a new way of thinking about some of my own experiences and there are several of his stories I will think about for years to come.

Good Story, World's Greatest Narrator

Revisado: 07-13-22

I originally read this book for the sword and sorcery adolescent magic school. I was captivated and keep re-reading because of the absolutely stellar performance of Nick Podehl. Nick breathes life into a diverse cast of many characters, giving them each distinct and unique voices that you can recognize easily. The story is a little slow to take off, but the depth of characters, the sass and camaraderie, kept me engaged. Just fantastic premise, great twists, just as good the second and third times around.

Utterly Fantastic

Revisado: 06-10-22

An eye-opening critique of the way misogyny seems to be at the heart of all gender and sex related bigotry. I'm a non-binsry trans man and it really taught me to look at my femininity and interactions with other queer peoples in new light.

A fantastic book, dryly read

Revisado: 03-10-22

Great stuff, very engaging and entertaining. I learned a lot about several great punk bands. There were moments that had me chuckling to mysslf fondly. If you like music, you'll enjoy this book. I wasnt too thrilled with the narrator's mispronunciations or inflection, but it didnt harm the book too much.

Phenomenal read

Revisado: 08-27-20

The book is an incredible journey nicely tied up with a bow at the end. Sometimes it races to soan broad gaps and sometimes it slows down and enters into a lot of detail for certain anecdotes. As a fan of the band, it made me laugh, think, and towards the end even well up with tears a bit as i thought about how dar they've come and where they still aspire to go.

Narrator was ok, he altered a few words including song lyrics or chapter titles, but did a great job otherwise.

Tales of interaction and responsibility

Revisado: 09-02-19

A fascinating look into the history of interactions between populations and how we should strive to interact in the future. Doctor Grafin is an excellent writer who makes sometimes difficult topics engaging and entertaining. This book also carries with it the ethical imperative that we become responsible stewards of our environment.
