review 1: (Aug) This was just a lot of fun. Paul is a slightly hefty, kinda neurotic 30 year old gay man. His family is suitably wacky, as is his friend who moonlights as a drag queen. Paul has never had a relationship, and cannot believe that new hire-at-work Vince, gorgeous man, could possibly be interested in him. Vince is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's very sweet and earnest. He works hard to prove to Paul that yes, Paul makes his motor run. I could see some people getting tired of Paul's wild musings and internal monologue, but I enjoyed him. The first time Paul and Vince get down and dirty, there is a scene that for some reason struck my mental funny bone and I laughed until I cried - my daughter made me leave the room as I could not stop for a good long while and... more she was over me! There were many other times I LOL, and as I've found with other TJK books, a couple of times I cried. This may not be for everyone, but I have officially become a TJK fangirl...the over-the-top way he writes, what can I say - it really works for me!One thing though - his book covers are pretty awful!
review 2: Irreverent, funny as shit- like bray like a donkey with laughter funny. My man-love obsession just wrapped this book up around me and made me snort and even made me almost mist up at one point. I was rooting for the Paul and Vince, and wanted so badly to see them get a happily ever after. “The ass to end all asses,” I said, unable to stop myself. “The Holy Grail of asses. If we lived in a world with fairies and elves, there would be epic quests to go get that ass. I wanted to bite it.” It's like this big gay romantic comedy, complete with a homophobic parrot and a two-legged dog named wheels. I shit you not. Although... that epilogue - no beuno. I liked the ending well enough, but the epilogue just won't be understood (and my rolling eyes at Paul) until you read it.“He snorted into his radicchio, which I admired because it was a pretty purple. The radicchio was purple, not his snort. Just in case you got confused there. I don't think it's possible for people to snort colors. We're not unicorns, after all.” Don't let that quote fool you- Helena (drag queen) is so fabulous, she may as well be a damn unicorn. There are flames and rainbows just oozing from the pages, and I loved it!“It was as if God himself saw that my intention was to make my outer self match my inner fabulosity and didn't think the world could handle such an explosion of amazingness. So instead of letting me get to the gym where I would have transformed myself into a walking sex god, he created a Dunkin' Donuts out of nothing and then gave them away for free. I didn't make it to the gym. I had a bear claw instead. And a maple bar. And some donut holes. And then some more donut holes.” less
