Lust & Wonder

With Augusten's unique and singular observations and his own unabashed way of detailing both the horrific and the humorous, Lust and Wonder is an intimate and honest memoir that his legions of fans have been waiting for"-- Provided by publisher.

Add a CommentStarted out strong, became tedious halfway through. Witty when it's not weepy, but not his best effort.
Similar, but not as good, as his previous works. Enjoy his writing but there's nothing new here.
Hilarious. Read this on a beach and had bouts of laughter while roasting in the sun. The ending passage fell so flat, though
Disappointing. If you've read "Dry" it's mostly a rehash.
It always seems to me that Augusten Burroughs is a writer you either love or detest. I happen to absolutely love his writing, his humor and his struggles with life, so I loved this book as well. Long may he write!
