BOOK REVIEWS:
"ACCESSIBLE PROSE AND EXPERIENCED INSIGHT . . . . This VERY READABLE book politely kicks sand in the faces of those who impugn the gym as anything other than a unique, healthy, surprisingly diverse communal culture worthy of study, comment and maybe even membership."
- Tom Cardamone, Author of The Werewolves Of Central Park
"AN INFORMED HISTORY AND BREEZY ANALYSIS OF GAY MEN'S THIRSTY INTEREST IN BODY IMAGE. . . . Athlete Alvarez is a trainer who leaves his muscular signature on this entertaining book... Alvarez captures the mystery and history of gay gym culture, of self-fashioning notions of masculine identity, and how gay muscle flexed gay power and uncloseted our Platonic Ideals into straight mainstream advertising."
- Jack Fritscher, PhD,Author of "Gay Sports" in Gay San Francisco: Eyewitness Drummer - Sex, Art, and the Salon around Drummer Magazine
"ALVAREZ CLEARLY KNOWS HIS TERRITORY."
- The Gay & Lesbian Review
