Looking for Hollywood's Gay History. Here she blows!
I'm still reading the book but I am finding it interesting and very well written. This author uses big words and everything. I had to look a couple of the words up.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

should be called, the long, boring history of gay hollywood
You'd think with this kind of subject material it would be an interesting book, but it's not. It's too "wordy" and I basically skimmed through the whole book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
