So firstly, I picked this up thinking this was a queer history book. This is actually the history of queer theory. Still interesting but not what I was expecting at all, and kind of changes my experience of it.

This is a fairly academic book - not super dense though. This is an interesting introduction, and I think if you were looking for that, this would suit you well.

To me, this felt quite dry and since I wasn't expecting this, I struggled with this. I found things interesting for sure but wasn't excited about reading this.

I was disappointed by this, so I'm rating this kinda low but that doesn't mean that this is a bad book, or doesn't do what it was aiming to. It is important to know that this isn't a book about queer history, and if you want that, don't pick this up.
