Negative Positive
Title: OVERRATED
Review: If this is a memoir, it has to be embellished. Not all memories are real or accurate. I just don't buy it.This book palled in comparison to other memoirs, such as the Glass Castle and David Sedaris books. The writing was OK. If not for the pure insanity of the content, I'm not sure the book would have made it on its own merit.It got tons of rave reviews, but I don't see what all the fuss is about. Everybody said the book was funny. It's not. Not even in a dark twisted way. Not even in a clever way. Wacky and unbelievable characters and situations don't make a book funny.Finally, I'm probably one of the least homophobic people in the world, but caveat emptor if you have a problem with graphic and overly-descriptive man on man love. I just don't like reading too many details about sex period. It is a lazy and unimaginative writer who needs to describe sexual details so graphically where they add nothing to the story.This book was highly disappointing.
