Reviews for Dusty

[badgenome · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

A strange, nearly incomprehensible book detailing the adventures of an egomaniacal delusional psychotic. Sure, I could be talking about the Mothman Prophecies or the Qur'an, but this is the story of one of the stranger men in the very strange world of professional wrestling. Surprisingly raunchy, at times it reads like The Dirt if instead of being four skinny guys, Mötley Crüe were one big fat one - and if instead of actually participating in sex, they had gotten off on watching donkeys pound Mexican girls. Reflections of an American Dream is also a bit of an editorial mess, and time and again I had to reread and rereread sentences to puzzle out what Dusty was trying to say. And yet, it was all strangely endearing! A million billion stars!
