macaronoui 's review for:
I did not know who Craig was before reading this book and I was eager to get to know a drag icon.
I honestly wish I didn't. We all know celebrities can be volatile, but it was just really hard reading that many pages about him being awful. He said himself he would rather be the women he portrayed and had very little personality himself. It's hard to read about a mean man and his wife, who was obsessed with his act, and thus with him. Both having gone through rough childhoods, and many hard times later it just read as a bit of a train wreck. I looked him up after I was done reading and he is talented, but just reading about all his debauchery kind of ruined him for me. As for the book itself. I was really interested in the LGBTQ+ part of the story, but I feel that was under served. Then the parts about the making of the movie Outrageous and the sequel were too long for my liking. The last chapter was such a random hop from the last few years in the drag community.
It had interesting parts, but it wasn't for me. Such a pity.
