Mr. Know-It-All: The Tarnished Wisdom of a Filth Elder by John Waters
4.0
I received this from a Goodreads giveaway.
Overall I enjoyed this book but it is pretty uneven. Some chapters I found very interesting, others I felt were a waste of my time. Different people will probably enjoy different parts of this book.
I especially enjoyed the early part of the book about making the movies. The chapters on activism, sex clubs, and taking LSD at 70 were also very good.
The chapters that were long ironic fantasies were awful. They would probably be better on audio. They read like they were part of his stand-up act.
Worth reading if you are interested in John Waters or any of his careers.
