review 1: Bryan Batt, the author, is an actor/celebrity from New Orleans and is on the Board of Trustees for the agency I work for, the NO/AIDS Task Force. In this memoir, he talks about his life in New Orleans and then in New York, growing up very close to his mother and as a gay man growing up in the Deep South. His mother is a very colorful character who clearly loves her son and his writing shows how much love he has for her. Was a surprisingly fun read.
review 2: I started this book and was very excited by it since I adore Bryan Batt, but I just couldn't get into it. I felt like I needed to know the people in the book personally to get into the stories and I had the same problem I tend to have with a lot of biographical books, which is that the timeline seems mud... moredled and hard to follow. I always want biographical books to follow a set timeline and reference years so I know what we are talking about. Batt's writing is entertaining and I may try this book again in the future but for now, I can't finish it. less
