Customer Reviews

Artistic, sensitive and poetic

I have used "Letters From The Closet" for my college human sexuality classes since it was published because it is beautifully and soulfully written by two intelligent authors who speak the truth about some of the real stuggles for understanding and relationship that many gays and lesbians have faced. It is an exquisitely artistic book, written with fine humor and drama, engaging to the very end leaving you wanting more. I enjoy it every time I read it gathering more subtle beauty each time, and I have heard hundreds of touching responses from affected students. I have been lucky enough to have Paulette Jacobson guest-lecture in a number of my classes over the years, and I could not recommend someone more highly for her engaging wit and her frank, moving presentation of her experiences in life. She is a truely gifted speaker and writer.

delightful

like the other reviewer from the philippines, i wasn't planning to buy that book (since i didn't know that a book like that exists). when i entered a mall (maybe the same mall, not sure), my friend told me to visit this unique book store that sells second-hand books and some hard-to-find books. and immediately i saw it! there were stacks of copies stashed in a corner and my friend was delighted to see a griffin-and-sabine-type of book in that store. it costs for only 35 pesos here (roughly equivalent to less than 1 US dollar). so i wonder how come it's out-of-stock there and there are less than a hundred copies lying around in god-knows-where store in manila? for those who are loooking for this book, better hurry til supplies last (m planning to buy more for my friends)!

It was great.

It was informitive. Great. Just what I needed

Fabulous!

I wasn't planning on buying this book. In fact, i didn't know that such book existed. One day, I was roaming around the mall. I went across a bookstore that's selling some interesting reading materials. Finally, I saw "Letters From The Closet". I was particularly amazed of the way it was presented. I mean, visually. It was presented in a unique way. The concept was fantastic. You can read it in one sitting without stopping. It's a n easy-to-read book. You wouldn't get bored reading it. About the story, I think not only gay people can relate to it. Anybody can relate to it with regards to attitude. A lot of people have a lot of secrets that they fear of telling anyone. It's but a natural thing. You cannot always say everything to a person. There has to be a right timing for it. A proper way of saying it. In this book, it was shown that all people are human beings. They did not choose to be the persons they are. But one thing's for sure. They are human beings and everyone should treat them with respect and respect whatever decisions they make in their lives. The only thing I regret about reading this book is that it has an open-ended ending. I wish there's a sequel to this book. I've been trying to look for a part 2 of this book. I hope you could help me out.
