 Written on September 3, 2007 Summary: A Great Book! I loved Sellevision! I saw the author speak in Boston last year, prior to reading any of his books. This was the first one I chose to read, and I certainly don't regret it at all! The book will really make you check twice next time you find yourself channel surfing and pass QVC or the Home Shopping network... It's amazing how the world of the main character falls apart so fast, and from such a high altitude. Enjoy this book, and read it a few times. Written on September 1, 2007 Summary: HILARIOUS! I seriously had never watched more than 5 minutes of QVC or HSN in my life; this book compelled me to do so after I read it. What a hilarious and accurate portrait of materialism and celebrity in today's culture! Even better, the characters were fairly multi-dimensional. Considering it's a humor book, the characterizations were much better than I would have anticipated. The author did a great job explaining many of the characters' thought processes. This is as good as the laugh out loud writing and political commentary of Carl Hiassen books. I look forward to reading more fiction from Mr. Burroughs. Just plain fun. Written on August 9, 2007 Summary: Not bad newbie... For his first piece of work, I was surprisingly appreciatitive of the same style, detail, and work that goes into many of his pieces. At first, I was concerned that the book not being a memoir (like his other book) would not work or capture the same interest, but I was gladly surprised when I continually laughed page after page. Augusten IS my favorite author and its nice to see that his pieces are so fluid and consistent. Written on August 8, 2007 Summary: Haven't Laughed So Hard The story starts out funny and becomes absolutely hysterical. If you're annoyed by pompous religious idiots, you'll love this book. The world of TV shopping is well-researched, the characters are true to themselves, and the whole thing is quite the wild ride. It's witty and almost poetic. One of the best reads in years. I'd like to see Borroughs indulge his fiction jones more often. Written on August 3, 2007 Summary: Amazing Debut Novel That Exceeds Expectations "Sellevision" is the debut novel of memoirist/non-fiction author Augusten Burroughs. Fans of his memoirs are wondering how this compares to his past books, such as the modern classic (Running with Scissors: A Memoir). You can rest assured that "Sellevision" is every bit as hilarious and outrageous as his memoirs, which is pretty tough to do if you're familiar with Burroughs's books. Although the book centers around a fictional "Home Shopping Network"-style television network, it's more character-driven than plot-driven. It's very soap-opera-ish without being a romance novel. As such, fans of literary authors A.M. Homes, Lorrie Moore, and even Raymond Chandler will be delighted with this book. |
