Review: "So You Want to Be a Lesbian?" is an AWESOME book. It's hilarious, creative and very real. It's my first sexuality-based book purchase and I love it. I just wish I owned it when I came out to my parents

Summary: For "Dykes" Only
Review: I bought this book because of some of the good reviews I had read here on Amazon. However, I am struggling to finish it. Aside from a few humorous comments, I can not relate to this book at all, being someone who cringes at the terms "dyke" and "queer" and who is a relatively mainstream (i.e. straight- associating) lesbian. There were some comments in the book that I found ridiculous, like the insinuation that Thelma and Louise were in fact, in love, and that's why Hollywood made them die at the end of the movie. Come on! Talk about paranoia. I realize that there is a lot of prejudism against homosexuals in our society, but I think the authors are a little too sensitive in some areas. In most others, I simply could not (and did not want to) relate to what was written. I refuse to purchase or praise music, books or movies just because they are written by or about lesbians. I also found the regular references to one-night stands and casual sex, while probably true, to be very depressing and embarrassing, since it makes it look like ALL lesbians are that way. In my opinion, this book doesn't represent professional, mainstream, conservative lesbians with relatively high morals (are there any besides me??) at all, so I could not find much with which to identify. A waste of money, in my opinion. But, if you stongly identify with the in-your-face lesbian culture, you'll probably enjoy this book.

Summary: This one is great.
Review: I got this book becauseof other great reviews. It did not disappoint. It is written with a sense of humor, is informative, and correct. It is easy to read, very witty, intelligent, and to-the-point. It covers a lot of areas of corcern to lesbians and makes good points. I could not put it down. It was truly one of those rare books that you find that was fun, and informative, to read. I reccomend it highly to others that are interested in this subject. Both authors should be congradulated. A great entry.

Summary: Culture Vultures
Review: I just picked up this book and have read it with great passion. Though, it is slightly out of date by now, it is still an essential reference book. Maybe a revised edition should be in the works? The film, music, literature and terms for personal ads really have saved many a slow night in my chateaux so that I can either make conversation over my merlot or make a date with a woman whose hanky code isn't the utter opposite of my evenings desires.

Summary: Fun Lesbian Reading
Review: I really enjoyed this book! There are so many useful pieces of information in it, as well as many laugh-out-loud portions! I learned a lot about some movies and writers I had never heard of before. My only problem with the book is that it is a bit dated. That can't be helped though--we can't expect the author to republish the book with new information just because a few years have passed. Check the book out. You'll be glad you did.

Summary: So stupid, it's funny.
Review: I received this book as a gag gift from my mom. It's not really much more than that. It's a dumb, ridiculous book, and it's difficult to understand who the book is really written for. Even though it's a joke, it only furthers negative stereotypes about women.There's even a section on "Bad Jokes." In this reveiwers opinion, the whole book is a bad joke.
