About this listen
Meet the Law family - eccentric, endearing and hard to resist. Your guide: Benjamin, the third of five children and a born humorist. Join him as he tries to answer some puzzling questions: Why won't his Chinese dad wear made-in-China underpants? Why was most of his extended family deported in the 1980s? Will his childhood dreams of Home and Away stardom come to nothing? What are his chances of finding love? Hilarious and moving, The Family Law is a linked series of tales from a wonderful Australian talent.
Warning: This title contains explicit content.

No! I can't believe it ended. I want to hear more
Such a great read. I'm recommending it to friends and giving each of my family a copy!!! So good.
Thank you Benjamin, for sharing your life and glimpses into you close family. I laughed (out loud & snorted...) I cried but most of all I felt like part of the family. Xxx

Such a good time!
All Australians should hear Ben tell these tales - there are stories anyone can relate to, and stories that will enlighten.

Funny, sad, sometimes unsettling
An autobiography that mixes the challenges of race, immigration and sexuality in Australia in the setting of a home life that is both very difficult and somewhat privileged.
I enjoyed the story, it was a good ride. Written in a series of anecdotes, it's timeline wasn't linear and jumped back and forth across about a decade, which made it a little difficult to keep track of things. Each section ended with a little phrase or reference, most of which were funny or poignant, but a number missed the mark and felt contrived.
Law narrated well and allowed plenty of wry humour to come through.

Funny, poignant with many great stories
Growing up gay in Brisbane and regularly travelling to the Sunshine Coast I loved this collection of stories. Really took me back to my youth! Benjamin shares the highs and lows and tells a great story. Highly recommended.
