if you loved Matthew on Friends, then I do not recommend this book or my review. Yes, it's a memoir and he admits to severe addiction, but depressing and the witty man comes off too sarcastic and selfish. The writing is actually good but redundant. I got mad/sad several times and had to put the book down. For example, if being an unaccompanied minor traveling to see a parent was life alteringly horrible, then I should write a book about being stuck and forgotten in a bus depot in Tulsa, OK, but hey I pulled up my little girl pants, looked up the # for my mom's apt manager and called them. FInally somewhat redeeming in the last 50 pages, but almost a preface for his death. Sad, sad, so sad.

PS, at least he had a dad to visit.
