mercourier 's review for:

Dry by Augusten Burroughs

4.0

---

Despite the controversy about the author sensationalizing events and his bravado at being an alcoholic in the first place, the writing still comes through and I found this memoir engaging and fairly insightful. It takes a lot to stay sober and his ease at staying sober was really just a thin veneer of sanity. It's worth it for some honest moments.
