Customer Reviews

A touching, humorous MUST READ for all!

Sex, Lies and Stereotypes was as moving as it was humorous! I found the realness and openness to all avenues of Ficera's life to be refreshing. She is even willing to show her readers what it's like to fall in love. The fact that I was willing to laugh and cry, along with her, was a treat. I definitely recommend this read!

Bought it. Read it. LOVED IT! Bought 3 copies for friends!

This book is a must-read! The essays have me laughing out loud and leave me shaking my head in amazement. Kim Ficera is a talented writer and a gifted story-teller. I can't wait for her next book.

Dangerously funny-read at your own risk!

For those of you who have noticed that, yes, your butt looks HUGE in hotel room mirrors, whose repressed Catholic upbringing instilled 'cleanliness is next to godliness' in your crucifix-ridden brain, and who have always wondered, why God why does the Mullet survive as a hairstyle, Kim Ficera's collection of essays will answer these questions and more. Ficera's truthful, and at times, self-deprecating humor make you laugh out loud and realize that you are not alone!

This Book is Good Fun!

I went ahead and broke rule #7 of Kim Ficera's book, bought a bunch and gave them to friends...and we've all enjoyed it tremendously. As Kim shares her unconventional life with all of us, it evokes great memories of the unconventional lives we all have; so quit riding over potholes and buy this book...you won't regret it!

LAUGH ING OUT LOUD: For anyone with a sense of humor ...

... Sex, Lies and Stereotypes is a laugh out loud for anyone who can laugh at themselves, friends, family or their love life. I read this book and immediately bought other copies to give away to friends, both gay and straight. Regardless of the reader's current opinion on subjects from internet dating to ass worshipping you will laugh outloud at the astute and hysterical insights. Don't miss this one -- but beware that you'll want to read all the essays in one sitting!
