Carsick: John Waters Hitchhikes Across America by John Waters

3.0

Pure fantasy. The first part is the Good Rides, the second part is the Bad Rides, but at some point, it's hard to tell which is which because Waters loves the drama. This was a little disappointing because I would think that hitchhiking across the country would actually provide enough content for a real book of real experiences. As a friend said to me, "How do you know they weren't real?" Probably the first chapter where a marijuana dealer from WV has his ethereal girlfriend help him dig up $5 million to help fund Waters' next film. Sorry, pure fiction. There's also the chapter where he is possibly raped by an alien. So, I'll let you decide if this is fact or fiction. As you read, you will agree with me.
