The Truth: An Uncomfortable Book About Relationships by Neil Strauss
3.0
Yeah, well, this was ok-ish but not as good as I was expecting it to be. The first part was excellent, what followed was just boring. Also, Rick Rubin is a pretentious, pompous, overblown, obnoxious twat, and he's all over the book. Fuck him.
That said, I loved Neil Strauss's biographies - [b:The Long Hard Road Out of Hell|37847|The Long Hard Road Out of Hell|Marilyn Manson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1386924321s/37847.jpg|37641], [b:The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band|25378|The Dirt Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band|Tommy Lee|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388184697s/25378.jpg|26119], [b:How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale|7252|How to Make Love Like a Porn Star A Cautionary Tale|Jenna Jameson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1386924879s/7252.jpg|10385] - as well as his nonfinction. I really enjoyed both [b:The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists|900|The Game Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists|Neil Strauss|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1410129471s/900.jpg|387] and [b:Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life|5507552|Emergency This Book Will Save Your Life|Neil Strauss|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1410134439s/5507552.jpg|5607536], but "The Truth" just fell short of my expectations.
2.5 stars. Sorry. I mean, I really am.
