Book Reviews of Savage Love: Straight Answers from America's Most Popular Sex Columnist
Book Review: Ugh!
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is disgusting. Quite frankly, I can't believe that anyone would publish this kind of fiasco.I was offended on every page. Clearly, those of us with morals are not the target audience.
Book Review: What Experience???
Summary: 1 Stars
I was shocked that this book of "witicisms" was published under the headline of "advice."Dan Savage's tone is harsh and biting; his responses seem to care little about the community but alot about how he looks in the community.
Time after time, Savage attempts to pass off his cute funny bits as true advice.
And that makes for shameful reading.
Book Review: When he stays on topic, Savage is very funny
Summary: 3 Stars
When he is talking about sex, Savage is one of the funniest and most entertaining advice columnists out there. Unfortunately, you gotta take the bad with the good with this book. The author's sizeable ego infects every page, and his lack of experience and knowledge about, well, life outside the bedroom does tend to detract from the quality of his advice and overall writing.Still, all in all, I would recommend the book. It does entertain, and if you don't take it too seriously, you'll enjoy it.
Book Review: Wish I'd had this book when growing up!
Summary: 5 Stars
What guts Dan Savage has! Finally, someone who will actually give real answers to people's questions. Sex is one of our most basic instincts, the driving force behind sports, love, romance, daily activity and most relationships. Most people pussyfoot around reality, asking indirect questions and getting less than direct answers. Dan gets to the real issues and gets people to talk about what they're really worried about. Every high school student in America would be well-served to have such information available, in my opinion, and I wish I'd had this book to read when I was growing up. The book is so very funny - I picked it up in Cleveland last fall and for awhile carried it with me on business flights. I had to stop reading the book on planes because I was causing such a comotion with my spontaneous outbursts of laughter. If you only read the book for the humor it's worthwhile but if you don't use the information and take it to heart, you're a fool. Excellent book!Book Review: Worst List of 1998?
Summary: 1 Stars
Starting a worst book of 1998 list? This one absolutely has to be on it. Dan Savage's book (which is really a collection of his columns and some new commentary) is just plain boring.Those that find this kind of writing witty are just trying to find SOME new voice for the left. OK, so it's about sex. Big deal. OK, so Savage is gay. Big deal.
Take away the sexy language and the "I'm writing a book, Ma!" attitude and you have some commonplace bad advice.
Good advice: Skipit.
