Book Review: Getting Bi: Voices of Bisexuals Around the World

Now you'll look at the title of this and be like "David, how on bloody Earth do you now review books after a bazillion SNES games?"  Well it's easy in a way (and by the way, when I decide I have enough time in my life on video games, it will also look to PlayStation games if/when that ever happens.)  However, this is my first ever real book review I am putting up.  So it'll be a lot different than those bluntly honest video game reviews I put up for SNES (I would say if you are looking forward to it, my next one is Final Fantasy 6.)  But I'll really just give my insight as to the book, with some positives, negatives but mainly overall my thoughts on it in full.  So, without any more lecturing of how this will go, here's what I thought of this book.

For me, Getting Bi is a good book for myself.  If you have lived under a rock in the last year, and in most cases you haven't (though kudos to you if you have made that work), you'll note and know that I am bisexual.  This is honestly a good book for a person learning about themselves personally in terms of who they really are.  For myself personally, I found the insight of the authors and the stories of others to be very intriguing.  I thought incorporating people from other countries was a very astute idea as it makes you open to the idea of the laws and observations of a public abroad.  The idea for me to be involved in this book is to learn more about myself as I go on with life.  I found that to be a very positive influence for myself and others while reading.  If there is any negative, it's that this is probably a direct book to people who are bi, but it does have some ideas for transgendered people as well.  However, it doesn't really go much deeper than that for either straight people, gay people, etc.  I would have liked some insight as to that, but given the book's title, you can't really think the context would be more than it was.   

In critical summary, if you are bisexual or are trying to learn about yourself such as myself you will really like this book.  If you aren't, then you might find it intriguing to learn about other people but likely wouldn't enjoy it too much.  For myself, I found the book to be very much with insight and knowledge that I can use for the future.  I'm very proud to have read this book and learn about how I can live with being bisexual more in the future.  And different situations to handle it.  I would recommend this book to a various amount of people and think it is much worth reading.
