Opinion Summary
Running Wild
by disinclined | Jan 23 '03
Pros: Hilariously foul anecdotes will have you laughing and retching all at once.
Cons: Burroughs' insistence on keeping it light makes it hard to emphathize with characters.

Sumo_rhino,

It's fine for what it is, but don't be expecting any introspective "what I learned" bits - he's just out to shock and amuse.

Thanks for reading...

gmann6900,

Oh yes, he does just about everything kids are warned not to. And he survived to adulthood, even so. :)

Thanks for reading!

N8,

So did you ever get around to reading it? I heard lots of hoopla when it came out, but upon reading it myself, I concluded that the hype was not deserved. I'd be interested to see what you thought of it.

As a seeker and reader of memoirs, I feel duly warned.

Many thanks.
