Carsick: John Waters Hitchhikes Across America by John Waters

3.0

Carsick is three novels in one, each telling the story of our author on a cross country hitchhiking trip. The first two are fiction: the best scenario and the worst scenario; the third is the truth. What passes for best and worst is where you really experience the quirkiness of John Waters (and is definitely not for everyone!) I really liked the real story, which was fairly short. While I liked the fictional accounts, I spent a lot of time cringing for various reasons. If you are a fan of John Waters' quirky sense of humor, you're likely to love this book. If you are only a casual fan, you may be either slightly shocked, or you may end up a big fan. As such, I would only recommend the book to someone not easily offended or skeeved out. For those, it's utter absurdity is fun.
