Summary: Honest, amazing, very addictive book!
Review: "More, Now, Again" is not a very good book, but because I'm addicted to Elizabeth Wurtzel's writing, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Wurtzel is like the Energizer Bunny- she keeps going, and going, and going when it comes to doing some far out, depression fueled dysfunctional behavior...and then writing about it. I think she's super cool, and I wish that, just for once, a magical medication would appear, in shining armor, to sweep her off her feet, and make her feel normal. But then again, we might then be deprived of more of her addictive books. Avery Z. Conner, author of "Fevers of the Mind".

Summary: Honest, amazing, very addictive book!
Review: This book captivated me from the first page. From Ritalin to cocaine, she keeps trying to find happiness in substance and finds it takes over her life. VERY true-to-life, very realistic thoughts in an addict's head about how drugs feel and the power they can gain over you. People have called her self-absorbed, but I find this to be the opposite-she's writing about what happened to her so that others can maybe gain perspective in their lives. Who else can she write about with such knowledge? I don't understand readers' criticisms of autobiographical non-fiction with that argument. I didn't really relate to Prozac Nation but have found that all of my friends and I, we all found parts of ourselves in More, Now, Again. If you've ever had a drug problem, READ THIS BOOK! It will show you how messed up you can get over time. I seriously recommend this book-I borrowed it from a friend and bought myself a copy after I returned theirs to them.

Summary: One of my all time favorite books
Review: This is one of my favorite books and I could really relate to what the author was going throug. The book is not written in a typical way but it keeps your attention from the first page to the next one. I have read this book many times and every time is an interesting read.

Summary: apalling
Review: This woman would be pitiful if she were not so apallingly arrogant. She is genuinely sick; however, one cannot feel sorry for her in the face of her meanspirited remarks. She has had every advantage, yet she obviously learned nothing at Harvard. She boasts that she is the leading non-fiction writer of her generation and that she is the 'prettiest girl she knows." This is good because no one else thinks so. She may have a ph.d. in the reader's digest or in junk food, but she certainly is not worldly, knowledgeable or scholarly. I haven't read one good review of any of her books. How in heaven's name could this sloppy work have been published? The publishers were evidently high as well. I feel sorry for the poor trees that sacrificed their lives for the paper.
