Nothing New Here. Rehashed information.

This book would be more interesting to someone who has just become familiar with the most interesting Harvey Milk. I was really hoping that I would learn a couple of new facts about this most controversial man. We all have our ‘quirks’ but Lillian Faderman writes about the ‘whiney side’ of Harvey rather a little too much.

The only new fact that I learned about Harvey was that some of his cremates were put in a box that had been ‘bedazzled’ and that Kool Aid was pored into San Francisco Bay when they were scattered in order to honor those who died in Guyana under the insane orders of Jim Jones and The People’s Temple.

II compared it, perhaps unfairly to The Life and Time of Harvey Milk. Personally I found it rather difficult to get though. Did not exactly ‘flow’!

Joel Froomkin did a pretty good job with his narration but I did find that my eyelids were getting pretty heavy as his performance was soporific.
