It is always a good idea to listen to John Waters on audio.

Waters is a mad genius whose brain never stops. He is a very entertaining reader. I learned some new vocabulary words and will never look at brutalist architecture without chuckling. Will now re/watch some of his films. Patricia Hearst was in at least 2 -?

The first few essays were great! The last 3/4 of the book were not bad but perhaps required you to be more totally committed to the Filth Elder's brandâ„¢, which I was not.

Looks like this version is a book on CD, which I wish I had listened to, but it was fun reading the actual book.

This is just what you'd expect from John Waters: filthy, hilarious, and surprisingly practical.

Waters goes on his weirdest and most personal tangents so far. Unmissable.

This essay collection is about John Waters life choices and how to get through life, without losing that abject originality we all possess. Waters humor, wit and honesty are in full swing.....that why I love this guy. He loves the fringes , outsiders and double lines. He cast Divine, Mink Stole and Tab Hunter! This Know-It-All wants you to know it all, a lifesaver!
A must read in a sea of maybes.
