NOW a NETFLIX series entitled Special from Executive Producer JIM PARSONS starring RYAN O‘CONNELL as himself. From the beloved blogger turned voice of an online generation, an unforgettable and hilarious memoir-meets-manifesto exploring what it means to be a millennial gay man living with cerebral palsy, which VICE calls “a younger, gay version of Mary Karr's Lit.”People are obsessed with Ryan O’Connell’s blogs. With tens of thousands reading his pieces on Thought Catalog and Vice, watching his videos on YouTube, and hanging on to each and every #dark tweet, Ryan has established himself as a unique young voice who’s not afraid to dole out some real talk. He’s that candid, snarky friend you consult when you fear you’re spending too much time falling down virtual k-holes stalking your ex on Facebook or when you’ve made the all-too-common mistake of befriending a psycho while wasted at last night’s party and need to find a way to get rid of them the next morning. But Ryan didn’t always have the answers to these modern-day dilemmas. Growing up gay and disabled with cerebral palsy, he constantly felt like he was one step behind everybody else. Then the rude curveball known as your twenties happened and things got even more confusing. Ryan spent years as a Millennial cliché: he had dead-end internships; dabbled in unemployment; worked in his pajamas as a blogger; communicated mostly via text; looked for love online; spent hundreds on “necessary” items, like candles, while claiming to have no money; and even descended into aimless pill-popping. But through extensive trial and error, Ryan eventually figured out how to take his life from bleak to chic and began limping towards adulthood. Sharp and entertaining, I’m Special will educate twentysomethings (or other adolescents-at-heart) on what NOT to do if they ever want to become happy fully functioning grown-ups with a 401k and a dog.

At this time of writing, The Ebook I'm Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves has garnered 8 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Ebook is Good TO READ!

I haven't been this disappointed since "Boy Erased." But I should have trusted my gut when I concluded the Netflix series upon which this memoir is based.We expect a conversation about Cerebral Palsy. Instead, we get a frank discussion about gay male sexuality, prescription substance dependency, and white male privilege. It's not all bad. Ryan has a powerful discourse about the categorization of GLBT sexual tastes and culture. But if you're a lesbian or even remotely more analytic, you'll get bored with all the Adam Sandler-esque references to sexual climax and or ejaculation. There are times when he's mature. He will make obscure references to alcoholic and neurotic artists of the 90s and 2000s. Your mouth might fly open if you're expecting a safe, respectful reading experience.Why do I say it's quite privileged and white? Although Ryan suffers from single parent upbringing. He is very white and quite Californian. These facts don't undercut his struggle to write, to have voice, or to be common. But his universal struggle with image and identity can only go so far. I get the whole "feeling invisible" and relying on "girlfriends" schtick. It just reads as a bit, entitled.Surely, we are all worthy of love and respect. But I'm just a tad skeptical. And I have to wonder if this narrative just furthers the neverending schmaltz of gay white men who live for drama and deceit.I was mildly entertained for the 2.99 I paid. But I would ask all people to proceed with caution. There's nothing "new or taboo" about a gay disabled person that routinely practices self-deprecation.
