"This"The book begins with the author discovering a diagnosis of Tourette's Syndome, a mystery illness he had since childhood, thanks to a South Park episode. In much the same vein - quirky and tragic hilarity - the book then follows his childhood and adolescence, covering a range of problems, illnesses and addictions in a very light and humorous manner.
This author has clearly led an entertaining - albeit problematic - life, and it makes for an enthralling read. I've read a number of memoirs and often find that subjects such as mental illness and addiction are covered with a depressing and tragic narration, leading to a monotonous and melancholic read, but in this book, there is an intriguing and hilarious edge to the narration that makes for a very enjoyable read."
