Carsick: John Waters Hitchhikes Across America

Fun if you like Waters, his films, and his sense of humor. The most interesting part of the book was the real life hitchhiking trip and seeing how it was a) hard to get a ride and b) most people were quite nice and decent to him once he did finally get a ride. He even made a good friend! Someone he probably wouldn't necessarily have met otherwise.

That is only one-third or less of the book though. Most of it is Water's fantasy's/nightmares about what might happen to him on this trip. Of course, they are extreme and frequently gross/raunchy. They start out almost believable and then amp up to utterly absurd. Some chapters are quite funny. Some are a bit much.

I am a fan of Waters and like the way he writes. It's hard to imagine who to recommend this to outside of other fans though.
