Negative Positive
Title: I'm not REALLY a kid....
Review: but I don't want to be harpooned with negative votes for saying this: Big letdown. I'm a Steely Dan fan so naturally I wanted to read the book they thought compelling enough to name their band after an element of ("Steely Dan" was a sex toy that females used on males in the book...)I'm not easily shocked, nor a prude, but this just felt entirely too depraved and sadistic...all descent into Hell and no redemption. Burroughs' prose was decent, but not anywhere near the genius afforded him by the glowing praise from Kerouac and others.I borrowed this from the library and thankfully didn't waste my hard earned $$$ on it. If you're still interested, I suggest you do likewise rather than impetously plunking down your duckets. Better yet, if you just want to read a book about the harrowing nature of drug addiction, try "Go Ask Alice". At least that book made for a better read...
Is the review positive or negative?
