Negative Positive
Title: Mr. Sad
Review: I couldn't put this book down, because I was anticipating the turning point, where Mr. Shaw realized that his life of sex and party drugs was ruining his life. Shockingly, that time never arrived. Shaw is against taking a prescribed anti-depressant because it interferes with his sexual potency, but he has not hesitation taking cocaine, crystal meth, and LSD on a regular basis, which can't help his HIV status too much. He does a lot of crying and very little introspection. There are numerous relationships with toxic people, most of whom he thinks are his friends.I am curious as to what the author thinks his "undoing" really is. In my opinion, his undoing is the fact that he is totally unable to realize how dysfunctional his life is and how much he needs to change it.
