Title: Self-Absorbed Drivel
Product review: Followed the band over the Nine Inch Nails period so I bought the book for some light reading.I read to the end hoping that it would lead to his seeing that he was taking himself too seriously but he just never does. This is a boring, repetitive account of someone's self-absorbed, destructive adventures at the expense of other people. There are a couple of amusing parts (like his lists) but really he is trying to make a book out of nothing.Like every "deep teenager" he seems to think he is the only person to endure rough times or question anything. Luckily, most "deep teenagers" eventually open their eyes, suck it up, move on to adjust to a reasonable approximation of the life they want in the context of the world they live in.Perhaps some of his self-loathing is a fair judgment. He is proud of all the wrong things. This book is a yawn. I feel intellectually worse off for having read it.
