Book Reviews of Love, Sal

Book Review: Wow!
Summary: 5 Stars

As a straight woman and new at-home mother, my world is as far removed from the life of one Sal Iacopelli in 3 years of San Francisco living. Yet, I found myself positively gripped from page one. This book is an unequivocal, hysterical, touching, remarkable, harrowing, intense, raunchy, exhilirating, sweet sweet trip that should be required reading for ANYONE with human running through their veins. One quarter through the book,you KNOW Sal. By the middle of the book, you're cheering for him like nobody's business. Three quarters through the book you love Sal and by the end of the book you are completely on his side even through ever-[grumpy] scenes like when he's barely able to take his eyes off the tv while his ex-lover chokes on a piece of food.

Sal's wit, riotous humor, and delicious power for description make him come alive for the reader and convert the book into potato chips you just can't stop eating. Some of my personal favorites: "Everybody surfin', Paxil USA" "Disaster Coordinator" "You don't know my pain" "Jesus Crucified Christ" "yeesh!" "Oh, those long, piano-strengthened fingers" "...a volatile collection of 25 queers and dykes..." "...sort of...Deliverance looking..."

And on and on it goes like that. Buy it for yourself, for a friend, you/they will devour it in one very gratified sitting.
