[Finley · Rating 3 out of 5]

"Homo History" contained lots of interesting information. It was written very colloquially and was easy to read. The writer's voice came through clearly. However, I did not find a fair number or phrases or certain thoughts necessarily apropos. Certain words, phrases, and ideas- in my opinion- could have been approached in a more politically correct manner. For example, the word "transgendered" was used, but "transgender" should have been used instead. In sum, "Homo History" touched on a lot of different things and was a good overview, but should be read with a grain of salt.

I could swear I reviewed this as being kind of shallow and not that great a treatment of the subject. Well, perhaps that was on my LiveJournal rather than here.
