So many of my friends on this site have raved about this book, that I was reluctant to read it. In fact, I resisted reading it for the longest time. Not so much because they were raving about it, although when that happens there is always the fear that the book will not be worth the hype. What pu...
I didn't finish this one. So many people have said what a great book this is, and one of my closest friends asked me to read it but I found it a bit too graphic for my tastes.
Oh, how I want to succumb to the peer pressure and say I liked this book. Even as the pages were dwindling I kept waiting for "it". I kept thinking okay, something's going to happen and I'm going to say "Aaahh... this is why everyone loves this book". But, sadly, it didn't happen. And sorry to the G...
I really enjoyed this book. Of course when i first started reading it I was a little shocked at how it was actually written instead of what I was thinking it would. But the main character is intriguing and the story pulls you in almost immediately.However, this is certainly not a book for everyone. ...
I'm giving up on this one for now. I have listend to 10 hours and have 6 more to go and I probably wouldn't have lsitend to 10 hours if I had had something else on the MP3 player at work to listen to.

GEMS:The anti-hero, an orphan raised by an aunt and uncle who are meth addicts, turns porn star, production owner and raging addict, eventually crashes and burns, literally. How could one character have so many flaws and still be irresistably interesting? It does seem over the top, but the opening...
I enjoyed this book, even as I'm still conflicted about it. (And I'm pretty sure that's not just the Day-quil talking.) There were so many things about this book - in the plot, the characters, even the narrative structure - that felt like stunts, like the author saying lookatmelookatmeeee!, but then...
I don't consider myself a good reviewer of books, mostly I list things I liked, more for my own memory than for others to make their decision upon. However, I feel that I must do more for this book in hopes that others will soak up the humorous, unbelievably believable, heart wrenching, life changi...
I would never have discovered this book if I hadn't seen it on GoodReads -- and I am very glad I did.We meet the unnamed, first-person narrator as he experiences a horrific car wreck and is badly burned. A great deal of the book concerns his experiences on the burn unit, and how his visits by a psy...
