It was good--very funny. I kept asking myself, really, are these true stories?

I have really been on a memoir kick as of late. I love reading about other people's lives! "The Bohemian Love Diaries" is definitely less serious than some of the other memoirs that I've been reading. While I don't mind super serious memoirs, it's always nice to read some funnier stories. This book was definitely refreshing!
Slash Coleman's book of essay-like memories opens on a hilarious tale of his super eccentric father trying to buy beer from a convenience store. And that's all I'm going to tell you because you should read this book yourself. Some of the stories are a little more serious than others but most of the stories are pretty good. Coleman is incredibly profound!
I flew through this book. Coleman is incredibly forthcoming and candid when telling these stories. It's that style that will really pull readers into the book. He's great at telling a story. One area where he is particularly good is creating a different "voice" for each person that appears in his book. I think voice can be really difficult in a book. In this book, you know exactly what Slash's dad sounds like. You know what his mom sounds like and so on and so forth. I thought that was a very cool part of the book for me.
Overall, those seeking some entertaining memoir stories will enjoy this book!
