Review title: Poor Man's David Sedaris
Product review: This book proves that neurotic and gay does not necessarily equal funny. It doesn't hurt, but some cleverness is required as well. This book doesn't have much cleverness. It is the first book by this guy that I have read and I am going to read Running With Scissors now because it must have been pretty good if it was good enough to get this mediocre book published as a side effect.There are a couple really good stories buried towards the end like the one with "Sommer" in the title which was good but not funny and "What's In a Name" which I laughed out loud at. His best stories seem to be written about his family and childhood, but most of the stories in this book are obsessive-gay-man-obsessing stories which come off flat and bloggy.
