i don't know. this is not a bad book, but i have to say that i came away a little more well informed, but less likely to want to meet this guy. i felt him get a little transier-than-thou quite a bit, but there's not much you can say as a reader when it's a book about his life, his experience, his worldview. it's hard, with tell-all memoirs, so separate the writer from his work, and i'm not sure it should be a requirement.

i'm reading Testosterone Files at the same time, and just find Valerio more engaging, a better writer, and really, just more open hearted and willing to examine himself and the world around him.

so, given that logic, does someone have to be a good writer to write a good memoir? i think so. i think i preference good writers over good people.
