"Boyd's memoir is set against the volatile backdrop of an America on the brink of acceptance, when civil rights for blacks and gays were being forced into the forefront of our collective consciousness. Being on the cusp of change, it transcends your average 'coming of age' tale and addresses every struggle in his life."

"With themes of love, loss and the insatiable hunger for fame, the read is as dense as Mom's chocolate fudge and, as any fat kid can attest, just as difficult to put down."
- Instinct Magazine
"I felt as though I was reading pages of my own journal as a child, adolescent and adult. I encourage everyone to read this book. It discusses real issues in a very honest way!"
- Out In Jersey Magazine
"Forever the Fat Kid is the quintessential minimalistic memoir. With Mr. Boyd, less truly is more. The reader will laugh, cry and sigh over the life lessons the author shares - life lessons of which everyone can relate.. However, it's Boyd's pure flair, exotic elan and joi de vivre that holds the reader captivated. Family members and friends come to life as vividly as the characters in his Broadway plays; dialogue is as exquisitely choreographed as his musicals; and the plot rivals that of any riveting bestseller at the top of the New York Times list."

"Michael Boyd is a master storyteller and his book a fantastic journey through a life. You step through a door on page one and get deeply involved and emotionally connected to all you meet on the following pages. Boyd's honesty is refreshing and moving. However, it is his humor that makes parts of the book feel like a magic carpet ride through the quirky, especially the parts about the theater and Disney. The 'Fat Kid' story is just a part of a great tapestry. Wow, what a story!"
- Maximum Life Radio
"In today's world, autobiographies telling the tale of how various people overcame the odds to find happiness and success in life are commonplace. There are so many of them that readers often lose track of who's who. So it therefore takes a truly outstanding new entry in this genre to turn heads and make readers talk. With Forever the Fat Kid, writer Michael Boyd delivers just the type of stand-out story that makes people sit up and take notice."
