Title: great book, piece of modern america
Review: I was looking for some reading material to give insight to an important mid-century American. The text of this book is culled from a series of speeches. He traveled for years telling his story of recovery from alcoholism to many kinds of groups.Nearly 10 years ago I did a newspaper interview with this man's son, a famous actor, Richard Chamberlain, upon the 20th anniversary and special edition DVD release of the TV miniseries "The Thorn Birds." In his book "Shattered Love" he touched on growing up in an alcoholic home, coming out as gay, growing spiritually. And remembering that, I was interested to pick up Chuck C.'s book.This a tough read. The typography and editing are horrible, with many mistakes, such as misplaced commas, quotation marks, periods and so forth. There's a lack of paragraph spacing, and passages go on for pages and pages. The transcription includes the spoken language with minimal cleanup.
