My Reviews
Perhaps, the use of vulgarity a turn-off. Brilliant essayist who shows true courage is opening up his dark youth to the audience. The gloom and doom can get to be a bit much, as does his victim-complex. however, he tries hard to camouflage the pain through exaggerated humor with his approach on otherwise tough subjects of alcoholism, mental disease, addictions, parenting foibles, social prejudices... and within there is bravado and no-shame
Honest, loving.... some members enjoyed the discussions around the book so much that they actually felt better about the book and gave it a higher rating
Helen, Monique, gab, char, annalie, Vivianne - 9/10
Bev - 8.5/10
Susan- 7/10
Michelle 3 trite persevered to grab together quotes that were there from before
Bev 6.5 fear is healthy, excessive fear is healthy- what does make one happy?
Donna 6 rehashing spirituality
Char 7 brought to me many reflections into the journey
Helen 7
Annelie 8 made me think about lifeâ??s legends
Eric 6 light summer self-help fable
Gab 8 got lost in it. A book for grownups

Vivianne 8
3.35/5
Gabor 8… slow start, interesting beginning, wanted to find out end
Annelie 8
Helen 4 missed a real ending
Donna 7 liked the adventures, didn’t the ending
Bev, Michèle Viviane 7
Char 6 loved the Yusuf and Khalil characters, liked many elements of his writing, but didn’t really like the structure of this story. Better as a film
Riveting, depressing descriptive, infuriating, roller-coaster
