Ford's done it again! He's returned to the magic formula of "Alec Baldwin" and created a down-right hysterical piece of writing. He's the master of self-awareness, self-pity, but more importantly self-appreciating humor. You can't help but fall in love with him, no matter what gender. Which is really what it's all about, right? After reading and owning three of his latest books, I've decided he's the kind of guy you want living next door to you and I'd even help him pack! Kudos and congratulations... again.

You should hear him READ, 3 Jan 2001

I loved this book, as well as Ford's two previous collections, and I was thrilled to see that he's now released an audio collection, called MY QUEER LIFE. His essays are a joy to read, but hearing him read them himself will make you experience them like never before. Buy this book, as well as the first two, then treat yourself to the audio version. You'll laugh so much it hurts.

Best Of The Lot, 29 Jan 2003

Michael Thomas Ford has a knack for seeing everday 'gay' matters in a completely different and skewed light. He is a strong match for anything David Sedaris has completed to date. This collection of short stories covers a wide range of subjects and territories and always manages to bring a chuckle. Remarkably, this is the kind of book that does not necessarily appeal only to gays, and in that, makes it unique. This is the best of his collections, so far, but I wouldn't discount anything he has written. He is just too much fun!
