Negative Positive
Title: sincere but very very bad writing
Review: To start with, I'm not faulting Culkin for getting his feelings out or expressing himself creatively. Nor am I minimizing the emotional turmoil of his childhood and its resultant scars on his psyche.What I AM faulting, however, is his (and the publisher's) decision to publish this. Everbody has the equivalent in an old spiral notebook from 7th grade stashed in a closet. If Culkin wasn't Culkin it never would have escaped. Its not enlightening, its not compelling, there's nothing here that's fresh or inspiring. Its just a guy working out his emotional "issues" (like most have) with clumsy bad awkward pretentious writing (again, like most have).
