Don't waste your time
1By Delaoliva3Stupidest book I've ever readA Rambling Read
2By tsiererAlthough it was interesting in the beginning, I don't think I can make it past page 100... Too much rambling on and on about nothing really. I feel like saying, "okay, I get it, you're depressed and your wiring is screwed up without Adderall, but what are you going to do about it?!" I feel like this book is going nowhere. Don't bother reading it.Great memoir and true crime story
5By heylestercoThis is the best bit of nonfiction writing I've read since Dave Egger's "Zeitoun". It's half strikingly honest memoir, and half straightforward journalism (but the best kind of journalism. The well-researched long-form journalism that you actually want to read). I just recently finished this book and am already tempted to read it again.
