Me and the Devil by Nick Tosches

3.0

I wish I could give this book 3 1/2 stars, but I'll have to stick with 3. I was really excited to read this book, and when I started it completely met my expectations. But while the "plot" (I use quotations because there really isn't a plot) was interesting, the author digresses - A LOT. He loses sight of the most interesting aspects of the novel (the female characters and his relationship with them) and completely overshadows them with long, arduous descriptions of arbitrary things. The last seventy pages were a chore, and I was so happy to be finished. That said, the first 200 or so pages on their own is a complete masterpiece.
