Book Reviews of Party Monster: A Fabulous But True Tale of Murder in Clubland
Book Review: A Different Kind of Read
Summary: 4 Stars
This book surprises me because, being so anxious to read it and so much time passing before I finally got a copy, I figured I'd read it in one sitting. Turns out, over a month has passed and I'm still reading a few pages at a time just before falling to sleep in bed, somtimes being startled awake when it falls into my face.
James St. James doesn't write at all as he came off in his televised interviews. He writes with an obvious self-consciousness that works in his favor.
At times, it seems he can't decide if the book is a biography, a description of the Club Kid scene, Michael Alig, or a murder. But again, this somehow works. Sometimes he falls into writing in his Club Kid persona and seems almost apologetic for having a conscience and moral compass.
In the end, I am truly enjoying this book and will miss it as a sleeping aid when I read the last few pages tonight.
I hope his uncertainty continues to shine through in his next non-fiction book.
