DESCRIPTION:
National BestsellerFrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Running with Scissors comes Augusten Burroughs's most provocative collection of true stories yet. A collection that is universal in its appeal and unabashedly intimate, Possible Side Effects continues to explore that which is most personal, mirthful, disturbing, and cherished, with unmatched audacity. From nicotine gum addiction to lesbian personal ads to incontinent dogs, Possible Side Effects mines Burroughs's life in a series of uproariously funny essays. Be forewarned--hilarious, troubling, and shocking results might occur.. These are stories that are uniquely Augusten, with all the over-the-top hilarity of Running with Scissors, the erudition of Dry, and the bread
. Though his performance keeps listener's attention, it's far from stellar. All rights reserved. His overemphasis with expletives often detracts because it's not usually necessary; expletives will stand out on their own. From Publishers Weekly Nostalgia, entertainment and humor are possible side effects of listening to this audiobook. He voices all of his women in the same tone and quality. He fluctuates with character accents. His youthful voice does help legitimate the stories in that the experiences shared need vibrancy to imply truthfulness. Burroughs delivers a slew of reflections about both serious and mundane aspects of his life. His style of delivery fluctuates from piece to piece so one is never sure what the theme or moral is until he finishes. Light and endearing with the occasional somber thought, this audiobook takes hold of listeners from the beginning
Paul C. said Another Winner From Augusten Burroughs. "Possible Side Effects" is another bold, honest and well written memoir from Augusten Burroughs. It is told in a series of short accounts that happened in his life. The accounts are not in the order they happened, which is fine. They each stand alone. I recommend this book to you.. Love the way Augusten Burroughs writes about what would be Lisa Hunter Love the way Augusten Burroughs writes about what would be sad events, but he does it with such humor!! Laugh out loud funny!!!. "Five Stars" according to Amazon Customer. I love Augusten Burroughs writing,not going to stop until I've read all his books!!!
