Title: Proceed with caution.
Review: Getting through this book was like trudging through mud. If you insist on reading it, at least check it out from the library so you won't feel ripped off.I bought this book to read on the train to work after reading a couple of other really great memoirs on the 'highly recommended' shelf at the bookstore. How this book is held in such high esteem by so many readers and critics is beyond me.Mr. Burroughs is a talented writer, and has a knack for bringing the reader right into the situation as if you were really there. But this power should be wielded more responsibly. Burroughs' story, complete with all the gory details, is one that he should have kept to himself.
