|
Courtney said:
"I am a big Burroughs fan, and this book was just okay. If you're looking for something hilarious, this isn't it, but it's a respectable memoir I suppose.

"This book was just very well done. It was deliciously creepy from start to finish (and what a finish!) The characters and descriptions were fantastic ... I don't feel like I read it so much as chewed on the adjectives :-)

read in April, 2008

"This book took about 50-60 pages to actually get into. I gave up on it twice before my sister made me give it another shot. Really turned into one of the most beautiful stories I've ever read.
