I glanced at the Goodreads reviews before I started reading this book (which I don't normally do), and from that I learned that the first two sections of this book are actually fiction. And partway through the first one, I was very glad it was fiction, especially since it is from the warped and twisted mind of John Waters. The first section, entitled "the best that could happen," is his fantasy trip. It includes adoring fans, wild parties, fantasy film funding and lots and lots of dicks. As a woman I guess I'll never be able to comprehend the male sex drive, but this is beyond anything I could imagine. In fact, some of his "best" adventures made me wonder what the "worst" could be. I didn't have to wait long. I couldn't even finish this section. I confess I skipped over the last couple of rides because the terror-drenched misadventure Waters conjures up was too much for me! With relief I moved on to the nonfiction section, the real story. And I understood why he wrote the fantasies, because the real story was much less interesting. Waiting for hours in the elements, finally getting picked up by nice, though bland and achingly normal people (except maybe Corvette Kid)... It just isn't as compelling. So, I enjoyed parts of this, but mostly I'm just glad I got through it. ( ) Two star because only 1/3 of the book was real traveling. I am a fan of John Waters, and even if I don't like one if his projects, I will continue to be a fan. I skipped his fictional accounts and just read the real stuff, which was in-remarkable. Overall the concept looked good on paper, but didnt work out in real life. Just my opinion. Waters tells his story three times--the best scenario, the worst, and what actually happened. The first two options are incredibly obscene but with Waters reading his own book and being the personable likeable character he is, it is mostly borderline hysterical if you are not the offendable type. The true story of his Baltimore-to-San Francisco journey lacks the obscenity and is quite endearing as a diverse group gets him across the country--in between interminable waits beside the interstate on-ramp. Highly recommended. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
