    <body><![CDATA[I will give you one star because your prose is so delightfully bitchy, Gore Vidal- especially the introduction, told from the point of view of &quot;Gore Vidal&quot;- but no more because this book is <em>bad</em> stupid.

I have always seen the human species as the agents of the apocalypse and my only criticism of that species is that it is so slow in completing its work.

    <body><![CDATA[Pretty dated, but still pretty fun, as long as you have a sense of humor. It's really a shame that it's currently out of print, as if the subjects of gender roles and sexuality were no longer relevant. Besides, how could you not enjoy the book that provoked Time to ask in 1968: &quot;Has literary de...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/9712220">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This starts out as a really funny, satirical look at Hollywood in the throes of the sexual revolution, but it just becomes tedious, pointless and mean-spirited, like pretty much all of Vidal's books, which for some reason I keep reading.  Maybe that says something about me.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[&quot;Myra Breckinridge [the film] is about as funny as a child molester. It is an insult to intelligence, an affront to sensibility and an abomination to the eye.&quot; <br/>Gore Vidal needs to watch this movie already and recognize that his book = masterpiece.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Er, holy crap this book is offensive. Funny, sick, twisted, but offensive. I'm not sure what Vidal was trying to say here? Being the serious type person he is, I'm sure he's trying to say something...]]></body>
