Take It Like a Man: The Autobiography of Boy George
“Where else but in Boy George’s autobiography would there be an index with these sorts of headings: Heroin; Michael, George; Hair, Dyeing...Now that’s entertainment.” (Rolling Stone)“Take it like a Man is a vivid, immensely readable trolley tour of the giddy highs and ghastly lows of George’s addictions to fame, cross-dressing, and drugs, and sex.” (Michael Musto, Village Voice)“Chatty and full of witty observations and characterizations, it is the engaging chronicle of a gentle soul, aware from an early age of what his preferences were and that he was born to perform.…original and insightful.” (Booklist)“Whatever I think of George, I have to praise this book for its candor….A definitive portrait of a modern young pop star.” (Quentin Crisp)“Highly entertaining…A compelling portrait of an individual who, by publicly celebrating his kinks and quirks, parlayed his alienation from mainstream British culture into a highly successful career.” (Publishers Weekly)
