Title: sorry, this book was a disappointment
Review: I read the blurb on JT Leroy in Vanity Fair and was very interested in reading his book. Sorry to say, the reality does not live up to the expectation. The book lacks engaging characters, a discernible plot, and any semblance of readability. I made it halfway through and that was an effort. However, the book made a strong enough impression on me to write a negative review, so perhaps that is a point in its favor.If you want "hallucinatory" fiction, read Burroughs (Bill). If you want inspired fantasy, read Burroughs (Edgar Rice). If you want gritty realism, read James Ellroy.Save yourself the trouble and pass this stinker by.
