Brontez is a raw tongue of flame blazing through all the blatant fakery and insincere bullshit of today's gay/music/human scene. This audacious non-memoir burnt the hair off the back of my neck and had me rolling with glee. –S.F. Bay Guardian
By asking, "Would you love me if....?" Purnell is not inquiring about the limits of love, he announcing his awareness that limits exist and snubbing his nose accordingly. He refuses to go straight, adjust his expectations, or refrain from being too much. Along the way, he has carved out a creative and hopefully satisfying life full of dance, writing, friendship, sex, adventure, and as it seems, love. –Lambda Literary Review
Brilliant, unfettered commentary on the state of contemporary gay life. –Bay Area Reporter
"Outrageous, laugh-out-loud funny, and heartrending–all at once." –Aaron Cometbus, Cometbus Magazine
Brontez is unabashed, and, unlike most of us, can admit that he just wants people to like him. Well, we do like Brontez, and as he says in his book, yeah, his stories are on fire. –Slutist
