• If you love Burroughs like I do, you have to read this
  If you love Burroughs like I do, you have to read this. I'm a big fan and each volume of his memoirs has been great.

• Excellent story telling
  At times hysterically funny and at other times tremendously sad. I found pieces of myself throughout the book and could relate on a lot of levels. great story

• One of his best
  Dry is funny, in the spirit of Magical Thinking with a darker twist that's more reminiscent of Wolf at the Table. It's a book about getting sober, but--as is often the case with Augusten Burroughs--it's also much more than that. Entertaining start to finish and if you like Augusten Burroughs, you'll likely read this book in just a few sittings. It made a plane ride go by VERY quickly for me.
