Review title: more of a soap opera than a memoir about drying out...
Product review: I don't understand all the raves for this book. I read and enjoyed "Running with Scissors" and the 1st half of "Dry" but let's face it, Augusten Burroughs is no David Sedaris. The descriptions of his adventures in rehab are entertaining but he seems to get back his sobriety a bit too handily. Also once he gets out of rehab, this is where the book totally lost me. If I wanted a romance novel about hooking up in NYC, I would have bought one. I mean come on, when he and Foster are cuddling - blech (and to quote Sienfeld "Not that there's anything wrong with that!"). One more thing, the guy definitely has a high opinion of himself. OK, Auggie, you make a lot of money, are really cute and have a great body. Now write something interesting for God's sake.
