Wow, this book was powerful. I am not usually one to enjoy stories of people's addiction or alcoholism because it can be difficult to relate to. Burroughs, however, does an incredible job of explaining where his self-destructive behavior is coming from. I think I would understand even better if I had read his first memoir, Running With Scissors, which I will definitely put on my list. Even though there are times when you know he's making mistakes you understand how and where they are coming from.
I loved the style he wrote in because he keeps the narrative going really well while still being removed enough to show himself in a balanced light--he certainly does not make excuses for his behavior.
