Recensione:

“Where else but in Boy George’s autobiography would there be an index with these sorts of headings: Heroin; Michael, George; Hair, Dyeing...Now that’s entertainment.” (Rolling Stone)

“Take it like a Man is a vivid, immensely readable trolley tour of the giddy highs and ghastly lows of George’s addictions to fame, cross-dressing, and drugs, and sex.” (Michael Musto, Village Voice)

“Chatty and full of witty observations and characterizations, it is the engaging chronicle of a gentle soul, aware from an early age of what his preferences were and that he was born to perform....original and insightful.” (Booklist)

“Whatever I think of George, I have to praise this book for its candor....A definitive portrait of a modern young pop star.” (Quentin Crisp)

“Highly entertaining...A compelling portrait of an individual who, by publicly celebrating his kinks and quirks, parlayed his alienation from mainstream British culture into a highly successful career.” (Publishers Weekly)
