Summary: Gay? Read it. Straight? Give it!
Comment: When I began coming out, I ended up with two copies of this book--the first two people I came out to gave me copies of this book, and both were straight. If you are straight and someone gay comes out to you early on in their coming-out process and you want to show them that you support them--this is a great book to give. And if you are gay and want helpful, level-headed advice about how and when to come out--this is a great book to get before you begin. Some key things I hadn't realized in coming out that this book touches on, for instance, is that the order you come out to your straight friends matters. Who knew? It's chock full of little tidbits of things you probably never thought about--and viewpoints on things you probably have thought about. All in all, this should be the first title in your gay or lesbian library. I can't tell you how much it helped me.

Summary: Helpful, except for the brainwashing
Comment: This is a pretty good book for the person starting from ground zero in the coming out process. It's especially good for its advice on the difficult cases, like coming out to parents. However, some of the exercises the author presents remind me of "programming" tactics used by cults. If you aren't sure you're gay when you start reading, you'll be pretty convinced, for better or worse, by the end. The tone of Orland Outland's Coming Out is a good deal more playful and the subject matter much broader. They supplement each other pretty well.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent book
Comment: I like the way this book deals with homophobia, with patience and understanding, instead of anger. I wish I'd had this book earlier, before coming out to some of my friends, I wouldn't have taken their rejection so personally.
