Review title: Excellent memoir (until the end...)
Product review: Dry is the third book from Augusten Burroughs, following the novel Sellevision and the memoir Running With Scissors. Dry, like Running, is a memoir, this time of Burroughs's struggles with alcoholism and recovery.Burroughs's style is very funny - and most of the book is very funny, until the obligatory relapse and ensuing self-destructive behavior. I don't necessarily understand addiction, so I'm probably a little callous towards his challenges.I must admit that I enjoyed Running With Scissors more than Dry, but for my money, Sellevision was the funniest. I'm hoping that Burroughs will return to fiction at some point (I believe his next memoir is due in September).
