Review: Michel Kirby wrote his memoir on life reflection from his early childhood memories onwards as well as he explains law regulations pointing homosexuality and its development in community through different decades of his life. It is very impressive that Mr. Kirby as one of high-profile people in Australia opens up for public about something so personal as sexual orientation. I doubt for this book between four and five stars. I wish Mr. Kirby wrote more about his personal effects of public stigma instead of often generating as impact on homosexual community in general and writing about celebrities as James Dean. After all the book title is “A Private” Life. I agree with previous review of this book which was pointing irrelevance of sexual orientation in community and that no one should tell us who we need to love. However, reality can’t be ignored and we need to admit that often we get harshly judged when we choose to love someone that family or close friends do not approve of. Love is the biggest dream of every human as it was mine dream and it was Mr. Kirby dream obviously and other people dream for sure. However, there is always cost to fulfil/satisfy this heart desires. I recommend this book for adults’ audience for people in general to get insight in sexual orientation and its reflection on person’s life. Thank you Mr. Kirby for sharing with us your life wisdom and experience. I, and am sure Australian public value it. “No one should underestimate power of human desire for love and companionship gifted by the sexual urge. “ Michael Kirby

Review: It gives a Cradle- to Now account of the events which shaped his life. Un-selfconsciously reveals his initial handling of his sexual proclivities, and their development, acceptance and promotion of a more liberal viewpoint.
