This book was not at all what I expected. I expected another boring self-help book about how to get your life back on track. This book, however, is thoroughly exciting and fascinating. It's not a self-help book by any definition. I highly recommend it. Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. I found this to be a very interesting book. The author takes us through his life as an alcoholic. Even though this book is quite amusing you can see the pain and hurt that alcoholic's go through. We see his struggle to get past the alcohol. We learn that with determination, hope, love and encouragement from others we can be powerful enough to do anything. Great book aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In this hard-cover autobiography, Kieran Doherty takes the reader along on the wild ride that was his life. With a voice reminiscent of Pete Hamill's in A Drinking Life and a childhood as tough as Frank McCourt's in Angela's Ashes, he tells his story, full of wit, bravado, and Irish charm. We watch him change from altar boy to rebel ... then throw away a promising career in the theater. We follow him through his almost unbelievable adventures in the military ... through four marriages and countless lovers ... through the alcohol-fueled crimes that ultimately landed him in prison ... and, finally, through the ugly reality of the cancer that killed him. Along the way, we get a feel for the internal pain, the constant struggle of the "low-bottom" alky to make it from one day to the next. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
