pauliinakiero 's review for:

Dry by Augusten Burroughs

3.0

---

i still don't believe that Burroughs' stories are true (how could he even remember all of this? most of the book is dialogue for christ's sake AND he's drunk for a good portion of it) but i do love rehab/recovery stories - i don't really know why, there's just something about alcoholism and drug abuse and rehab centers that's interesting to me. not that i'd want to experience them myself. i'll just stick to reading about them.
i'll just repeat what i've said before; read Burroughs' books as actual memoirs and they're gross and unbelievable, read them as fiction and they work. kind of.
