Summary
Critic reviews
"Like the alcohol he so enjoys, Burroughs' story of getting dry will go straight into your bloodstream and leave you buzzing, exhilarated, and wiped out...this memoir operates on a high level of involvement and suspense." ( Kirkus Reviews)
"[A] wrenching, edifying journey...with the added benefit of being really entertaining." ( The New York Times Book Reviews)
"...Harrowing yet hilarious personal encounter....His performance blends self-deprecating black humor with wise-cracking confidence. His natural wit and charm keep the listener rooting for his success." ( AudioFile)

What I needed!
Listen to the similarities not the differences - GREAT listen so honest and brutal and funny and uneasy making - didn’t want it to end

Live in the Raw
Augusten Burroughs does it again, Dry starts off after Running With Scissors left off but can be listened to as a stand alone volume. I went through a wide range of emotions listening to this one, its both brilliantly written and narrated, laughter, sadness, anticipation, anger, even crying, its so raw that it is shocking in places but when you remember this really is an actual account of one man's double life the way he has to hold down a job, keep up appearances, maintain friendships and basically keep going then on the flip side the addictions, drugs and booze, men, its all there laid out in the rawest language, its amazing. A highly entertaining listen, there were many times throughout this one I didnt want to stop listening its a completely addictive book in itself.

A beautiful story with some great characters
This book tells a great story and left me feeling optimistic about my own sobriety. The English accent was so bad it was good (If Dick Van Dyke can get away with it, why not Augusten?!).
I loved the way the characters were built and I enjoyed the story very much. Augusten seems like a troubled but rather lovely and self aware soul, and I wish him the best with his recovery.

Absolute must read!
A couple of months into my sobriety, I've been listening to anything subject related... and this is by far my favourite! Honest, funny, witty, a little dark... I laughed, cried and felt elated.. could not switch off!! Beautifully written and narrated. Pleased to see he has written other titles I'm now checking out!
