Title: trying too hard
Review: i have a friend who loaned me a copy of this book and insisted i read it and spread the word... thank god i didn't spend money on it. the stories seem forced, almost like they were taken from real life experience and then re-told in such a way as to make them thoroughly unbelievable. i hope that the essays aren't all autobiographical, because they seem to come from a core of desperation that is just painful to read. this guy has potential but really needs to find his own voice and stop trying so hard... i might give his sophomore effort a try (if there is one) but i wouldn't waste the moolah on this one
