An incredible read of a man who was not only one of the greatest actors of all-time, but who was also a dedicated father to his son, and it is filled with amazing antidotes from the people who knew him best, especially his son. If you're a dedicated pop-culture fanatic like I am, then you should read this book.

This a very complex book about many people's worst fear: coming out, and it's told from very realistic point-of-views from the names you all know, but the lives you've never known.
As a person who has the same fear, I found it very hard to put down. Many people like me can read it, and feel good about who they are, even when living in a time of never-ending sexual prejudice.

A disturbingly comical journey into the often horrifying phase of youth, which is also ironic because everyone of us has had many unbearable experiences with growing up. Everyone who reads this book will see themselves as the main character, who is trying to survive his own life by dealing with his own personal hell to get where he is today.
