Title: Some really teriffic passages, but a bit overly indulgent
Product review: There are several passages in this book that are side-splitting funny. His descriptions of playing frisbee with his little brother Toph are absolutely to die for. His recollection of the moment he notices that the music at his sister Beth's wedding is the KISS song "Beth" almost had me rolling on the floor.These moments are weighed down, however, by several rather long overly self-indulgent passages. His interview with the MTV Real World producer is a good example of this. He seems to get so caught up in crafting the most emotionally impactful rendition of his traumatic life, that he forgets to make it interesting. For the most part, I skimmed those sections of the book.Still worth spending a few days reading.
