Book Reviews of Possible Side Effects

Book Review: Burroughs Has Lost the Magic
Summary: 1 Stars

Burroughs is definitely a one trick pony and the books are getting progressively worse. Running with Scissors was hilarious, although not really all that believable. Dry was my favorite and I enjoyed it regardless of how true the stories are. But Possible Side Effects is just not funny. I'm not even sure he thinks he's funny or even cares. And the personal facts he reveals such as blowing his nose on his shirt and throwing empty food cartons on the floor is flat out disgusting. I realized I have no interest in what a person has to say that has no regard for personal hygiene. I imagine he must have some sort of mental illness such as hoarding all though I really am not interested. I met Burroughs at a book signing in San Francisco and he looked dirty. Get some help and some writing advice from James Frey.

Summary of Possible Side Effects

?
National Bestseller
?
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Running with Scissors comes Augusten Burroughs's most provocative collection of true stories yet. From nicotine gum addiction to lesbian personal ads to incontinent dogs, Possible Side Effects mines Burroughs's life in a series of uproariously funny essays. These are stories that are uniquely Augusten, with all the over-the-top hilarity of Running with Scissors, the erudition of Dry, and the breadth of Magical Thinking. A collection that is universal in its appeal and unabashedly intimate, Possible Side Effects continues to explore that which is most personal, mirthful, disturbing, and cherished, with unmatched audacity. A cautionary tale in essay form. Be forewarned--hilarious, troubling, and shocking results might occur.
