" Very loosely written, but fun that way. John Waters meanders through various interviews with some of his heroes, letting us in on as much as he is able to get out of his encounters with a very eclectic group of celebrities. The book is clearly, and intentionally as much about him as it is about the actors and musicians he admires. He talks about his experience of fame, and restricts himself mostly to a discussion of his public persona, which creates an odd distancing affect with the reader, I felt. I'm famous and you're not, kind of thing. I'm reading Tina Fey and Rob Lowe's memoirs concurrently, and they each have a much more intimate feel. Waters says at one point, "I always assumed people who bared their souls in interviews had no one else to confide in." It leaves the reader feeling that, no matter what he writes or shares in the published pages, he'd rather be sharing it with someone else. Not my favorite literary technique. Still, he's very funny, and you're glad to be in the audience, if not inside the author's head. "
