Dyana's Reviews > Drinking with Men: A Memoir

I think the writing itself was very good but I did not like the story line. If the author wrote a fiction novel I would likely read it though.

This book was basically the authors life story with plenty of drinking, some drugs and some sex. I thought it was going to be about friendships and meeting people but that is not what I found upon reading. On page 34 the author wakes up with her own feces on herself after a night of drinking. I fail to see how this truly disgusting piece of information has to do with the camaraderie and community that is stated on the back of the book. On the next page she tells of a trick she plays at bars with coins. She comments that the poor idiot (refering to whoever she is doing the joke for) gets it wrong 9 times out 10. She fails to tell the answer to this trick and as I don`t get it I feel like the author just called me an idiot.

I only kept reading because I won this book from GoodReads and felt the least I could do in return is read the book and give the review. If I had been reading the book for any other reason I would not have gone past page 34.
