Book Review of Dry : A Memoir

Dry : A Memoir
reviewed on + 120 more book reviews


Burroughs is a writer with a great ear for dialougue/conversation. In this book, he is unsparingly self-critical. This is a much better peek into alcoholism/rehab/sobriety than many other books (I'm looking at you, James Frey!), but ultmately it is unsatisfying. I'm not sorry I read it, but I would have a hard time recommending it.
