review 1: If you've ever been like me and felt that your own story was too bizarre for public consumption, then you need to find yourself in the middle of Ms. Kucera's memoir where you'll fit right in. She details an extraordinary, complicated life filed with addiction and it's consequences. What really worked for me is that the author focuses on the solution and shows that there is a way to survive growing up in a world where you are powerless over your circumstances. This book touched me and I recommend it to anyone whose life is touched by addiction, which is everybody.
review 2: I've known Dina for ten years, but I don't think I've really known her. Until now. As I spent a Sunday on the couch, a badly-needed day of rest, I finally opened my downloaded copy of her boo... morek. I could hear her saying all of it, in her voice, and her snarky sense of humor. I've heard her say "fuck" a lot.As someone who had years of drug and alcohol abuse, and growing up surrounded by alcoholics, I felt just about everything Dina talked about. The screaming, the crying, the depression, and feelings of helplessness.But what I related to most was using humor to get through shit. It's what we do as comedians. We always seem to find that one thing that makes the worst situation imaginable into something ridiculous, no matter how much it hurts.I read this book today. The entire book. Today. less
