review 1: I saw Storm's one woman show of the same name a number of years ago, and have been a fan ever since. She is loud, large and beautiful. Her voice and her heart knock me over. Even if you have seen the show, or heard its soundtrack (recommended), this book goes a little deeper and a little farther in the description of her journey to heal the pain around her mother's mental illness and her own addications, Painful at times to witness the bad choices along the way, and though her way of life is not mine, she lives her truth with heart and love and laughter and it's very good reading...
review 2: I picked this book up on a whim at St. Vinny's the other day. Previously, I had never heard the name Storm Large, and now I'm wondering where she has been all my life! I w... moreas initially attracted to this book simply because of the cover: oooh, another weird girl memoir! I am an absolute sucker for girls with attitude... and she delivers. What glued me to this book is the way in which somehow, Storm and I are not all that different but also complete opposite people. I grew up to be a 6'2" chubby outcast in a similarly dysfunctional, lower-middle class family, and was constantly worried that I was gonna turn out batshit crazy like my mom. But unlike Storm, I am still trying to find my voice, and I'd like to say that this book is definitely inspiring for me on that note. Storm seamlessly takes us on a journey from her sex addiction to drug addiction, dirty crust punk and bonafied rockstar. She provides for us one of the most tragically beautiful descriptions of a heroin withdrawal I have ever read, and recounting her time in New York only kind of makes me want to go to a sleazy punk rock dive bar and go home with a brand new stranger myself. Storm Large is larger than life itself. Fellow weirdos and suburban Harvard alumni alike need to read this. less
