A review by marold
Dry by Augusten Burroughs
4.0
After reading Running With Scissors, I read Magical Thinking and craved more Burroughs. This book has his familiar, humorous, smart style and knack for writing about situations in a way that is totally relatable whether you can actually relate or not. This book is a little more serious than his others, but obviously heartfelt and honest. It's interesting to read about his bout with alcoholism and how he tackled it. If you're a fan of Burroughs, this is a must read. If you've never read anything by him, I would not start with this. His other books are much better and it would be a mistake to be introduced to this excellent author by starting with this book. Overall, good, entertaining read.
