Sellevision

My favorite book by Augusten Burroughs.

Some of the laugh out loud moments that I really enjoyed were toward the middle. I felt like the beginning was engaging but didn't really get into the characters until the end. Peggy Jean of course was really the most interesting. Max could have been left out. Leigh's on air breakup was AWESOME. I actually also liked the romance with the older couple.

Sellevision is thus far Burroughs' only foray into fiction, and may be the only one there will ever be. It's ridiculous, hilarious, vulgar, embarrassing, and fantastic. The reader instantly pities and loves almost all of the characters, and manages to find humor and interest in those unlovable ones that are so central to the exploits of the rest. I love it.

Hilarious... especially the ending :)

This book reads itself. Very light, funny read.

This book was awesome and I didn't want it to end.

My least favorite of his books. Not crazy about fiction. Not horrible, just not AMAZING.

Was an entertaining read

Sometimes, the best thing to do- is just run away from all the deep, symbolic crap. Sellevision: a novel of tastless crap that will make you laugh every other page. It's a riot! And arguable not just the funniest endings of any book I've experienced, but possibly one of the best.
