kylie_abecca 's review for:
Junky
by William S. Burroughs
This book on its own would have been brilliant. It was very well written, detailed and narrative that is realistic for the characters.
The first two hours of the audiobook was spent describing the author, his knowledge on the subject, his reasoning for writing the manuscript and the authors opinion on changes made to the manuscript. An hour of that was purely in regards to the title being changed and the authors opinion on this change.
Then another hour is spent after the story with a dragging ‘appendix’ that yet again talks of changes in the manuscript.
Personally I feel this is way overdone and completely unnecessary for the story. If this were a study on the original manuscript, this information would be quite handy, but as a story/book for enjoyment, it becomes boring and takes away the majority of the enjoyment of the story. Without this, I would have given this five stars.
