Title: as a writer burroughs talent is barely above a zero
Review: if you want to read some one's self obsessed drivel about why their childhood was so weird without actually being given any insight into why it was (am i the only one who doesn't thing that camping out on the lawn on a hot day is a pretty normal thing to do, that having dirty dishes in the sink and lazy people who have no interest in washing them is pretty typical?) by someone who may have been given some good source material but still seems to not be able to do anything with it this book is for you. Burroughs self-obsession with the drivel he writes about his lifeseems to be most notable for the fact that he dropped out of high school and did nothing for several years. What Burroughs does demonstrate is a strong gift for marketing - not only did he get an ad agency to sign him in NYC but he was able to get some publisher to actually publish this book. Glad I just found it lying around an airline bathroom and didn't actually spend real money on it.
Is the review positive or negative?
