I really enjoyed this book as someone who isn’t a huge Theroux fan but as someone who would watch his work and enjoy it when it pops up. I think if you’ve seen everything he’s done you might find it to be a bit of a “and then I did this and then I did that” and feel disappointed.
Some people seem to have given poor reviews based on Theroux’s character and through discovery of how privileged Theroux is. I found that for most of the privileges afforded to Theroux, there appeared to be a price to pay for most of them. I appreciated Theroux’s honesty to be able to depict himself as someone with issues, especially detailing how he has been a crappy romantic partner to both Nancy and Susanna.
A pretty balanced book, it could have been better but I think it was still pretty good.
