A Queer and Pleasant Danger by Kate Bornstein

3.0

I recently read "A Queer and Pleasant Danger" by Kate Bornstein, a memoir that explores the author's journey through Scientology, gender identity, and queer liberation. I found the book to be humorous and easy to read, especially as Bornstein shares their experiences in Scientology and their eventual realization of their own gender identity.

The second half of the book focused heavily on queer liberation and kink, which may be of interest to those specifically seeking out those topics in a memoir. However, it didn't necessarily resonate with me personally. Despite this, I still appreciated learning about Kate's experiences and what it was like to be transgender during a much less accepting time.

Overall, I would recommend "A Queer and Pleasant Danger" to those who are interested in learning about Bornstein's unique experiences and insights into the queer community and kink culture. However, if you're looking for a more general memoir, this may not be the best fit. I rated it three stars, but it's definitely worth a read if the subject matter interests you.
