Summary: I have a crush on Will Patton.
Review: Had a truer author kept a journal and had a heart to break he wouldn't match the desolate landscape of Will Patton's brain. Although I DID crave a greater definition in time within the editing of his thoughts, there was no lack of satisfaction in this thought provoking read. This tiny booklet is carried thoughtfully as a reference and reminder that anyone can be alone in a crowd, and that no one likes to be pushed into a pretensive state of happiness when all he can see is his own vision of reality. I write this review with admiration that Will Patton had the guts to even bare himself to the public and to allow himself to be naked this much. It is Baudelaire's Evil Flowers without the vagueness of poetry, and it is a great relief that his Southern expressions come forth without that usual aire of pretense. Perhaps he will consider setting forth more of the same someday without the harsh editing.

Summary: So Do I ;)
Review: I absolutly LOVE Will Patton. He's not only a beleivable, charismatic, gorgeous actor, but one hell of a funny, crazy, sad writer. I Hope he writes many more books, and keeps his gorgeous blue eyes behind the big screen.

Summary: I have a crush on Will Patton.
Review: I've long enjoyed Mr. Patton's voice on many audio books, and now, here is that "voice" on the printed page in this amazing book. Haunting, funny, strange, beautifully written - it is a treasure. I hope he writes more.

Summary: Bizarre and Thought-Provoking
Review: Will Patton's work on screen or on stage or as an audio performer is defined by his singular ability to become any person with such clarity and believability that it is truly astounding. Also remarkable is this amazing little book. Bizarre and even frightening at times, this small book chronicles a pain-filled, often incoherent journey. Perhaps one of his greatest gifts is his ability to truly put thoughts down on paper, no matter how strange they may seem. His journey takes us through his vagrancy as a street drunk, drug use, unusual thought processes, strange almost mystical experiences, to contemplation of suicide. These jottings may shock some and impress others. But no matter the effect, everyone should respect this writer for being willing to share such private thoughts and ideas. Bravo! Bravo! Encore! Encore!
