Negative Positive
Title: Guess what, it gave me the creeps!
Review: The book started out light and quirky with a lot of potential, but it takes a rather dark turn when Burroughs moves in with his psychiatrist. Disturbing incidents, insanity, crudeness, and graphic sexual encounters ensue. Somewhere among the chaos is the story of how Burroughs starts writing, but it gets hopelessly lost by the more shocking occurrences.While I can appreciate the author's attempt to find the humor in some very bad situations, the book does not read as humorous. I saw it more as a way for Burroughs to gain some closure over a dreadful childhood. Whether or not the book is completely true, and I have my doubts, it is vulgar, over the top and anything but subtle. I'd try to give an age appropriate suggestion for this book, but I'm 24 and I think I lost a little more innocence the day I read this book. Read at your own risk.
