Book Reviews of How to Say 'Fabulous!' in 8 Different Languages: A Travel Phrase Book for Gay Men

Book Review: What a Riot! If You're Gay and You Travel, You Need This Book!
Summary: 5 Stars

First of all, the book is small enough to be a convenient carry-along. It is very thorough and covers most every sexual and nonsexual situation you can think of (REALLY) and it enables you to converse easily with native speakers. Each entry is also listed with its phonetic pronunciation. I tried out a German phrase on some guy I knew and he said "OMG how on earth did you learn that??" Some of the phrases are probably not always going to be used, but are translated and form the basis for comic relief (e.g., "Doll, if you're going to lip-sync, the least you can do is learn the words"). I say buy the book, it will certainly come in handy! The Spanish in particular also has regional differences which is very useful.
