Book Reviews of Possible Side Effects
Book Review: good book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is awesome!! It will make you laugh out loud and have you sharing stories with your friends.Book Review: Another great book by Augusten!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Everything that Augusten Burroughs has written has been fabulous, and this book is no exception!Book Review: "Dry" and "Magical Thinking" are better but this is entertaining too
Summary: 4 Stars
His writing style is snappy, witty and he gets to the punchline of every joke with the quickness, which is nice for the short stories, and even his two novels.
Most of the stories themselves are kind of random - almost very mundane situations elevated to comedy by his funny voice, which is admirable. But it's almost like he's run out of crazy life experiences to write about after his first three personal collections!
There are several laugh-out-loud moments that I had to re-read again right after I finished the respective sentences because I wanted to re-savor their delicious wit again. It was almost like rewinding the funniest scene in a movie a few times to relive the moment.
I definitely look forward to more books by Augusten Burroughs - I am curious as to what else he can write about...
Book Review: Perfect Pick-Me-Up
Summary: 4 Stars
I rarely laugh so hard as when reading Augusten Burroughs. His memoirs are a reminder that no matter how hard life gets, you can always find some humor in it. This book is perfect for college, since I never have enough time to read full novels with all of my classwork I can just pick it up and read a piece or two and not have to worry about losing my place or never having enough time to finish. Definitely a worthy purchase, especially if you're already a Burroughs fan!Book Review: Not the best, but great!
Summary: 4 Stars
If this was my first Augusten Burroughs novel I would think it was perfect, but since I have read the many before I know what he is capable of. He dissapoints a little bit in the descriptions of characters and focuses more on the punch lines of his stories. I would read this book again and my love for his writing has not faded. You can't get it right everytime!! I can't wait for his next read!
