Title: Authentically, Frustratingly Unreliable Narration
Product review: Bellone is either an authentically messed-up man with an excellent memory or a very talented mimic. One way or the other, he's reproduced the voice of a real American loser much, much more impressively than most contemporary novelists. This is not the touching, gaunt, stylized loser you encounter in film and book but the flabby, frustrating, inconsistent and deluded loser you have actually met in life.The highest praise I can give Bellone is that after finishing the Id Idiot I was required to read and review James Frey's silly memoir. Without doubt, Bellone is by far the better, more honest and more interesting writer. Therefore his book will no doubt be ignored and Frey's [work] adored...
