rmardel's review against another edition
3.0
I had a grand time reading this book. Parts of it were outrageously funny and some parts a bit uneven, but it was a fun read and a nice way to pass an otherwise gray afternoon.
marinaschulz's review against another edition
3.0
I enjoyed reading this.
"Nasty" isn't continuous, but rather a lot of unrelated tales. Some are extremely funny, witty and forgettable, were as others the reader skims over.
Do I recommend this book? I'm not sure, I don't think I'd reread it, but it didn't have "nasty" taste. Were as not exactly devoid of content, "Nasty" is not what anyone would call overly profound. Touching at times but not all that deep.
I think that if you enjoyed the TV series like me, and are undecided between getting it or not, then I'd probably say yes. It's different from the series. But if you haven't seen it on the telly then I'd say don't bother.
One note in case you are unfamiliar with Simon Doonon: he is an openly gay window dresser, and his life is worth reading. Once. Casually.
