Customer Reviews

John Waters has no business running around by himself

If you ever play that game where you ask "Which 5 people would you have at a dinner party?" My first choice is always John Waters. The man has made some of the most twisted and hilarious movies ever. His books are simply more of the same twisted and hilarious. He often borders on obscene (depending on your definition) but he is never boring and I will buy his books just because his name is on it and I know I won't be disappointed or boring. Just the chapter about what "fans" send him in the mail is worth the price of the book. Be prepared!
