4.0 out of 5 stars Liquid Courage, March 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Bailey on My Own Party of Five 1 (Mass Market Paperback)

I really enjoyed hearing Bailey's feelings about his growing alcohol problem, but found it very short, and lacking details. I would really like to see someone, possibly a fan write a book going into more detail about it and possibly putting it on the web. I did like how the author accurately stuck to the episodes. Bailey gives us a look into the eyes of someone completely oblivious to their problem. But my question is, if he needed the alcohol so bad that he'd do anything for it, how could he not have known that something was wrong? In the book he is completely shocked that his siblings planned an intervention to confront him. Hasn't he ever heard of that kind of thing before? In parts, the book seemed a little unrealistic, but at the same time I find Bailey a character that I can relate to. I only wish that the book would progress slower and portray Bailey's alcoholism with more dinamics and drama.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much of a typical book about alcoholism., December 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Bailey on My Own Party of Five 1 (Mass Market Paperback)

In my opinion I felt that the book was portraying Bailey as every other typical alcoholic that I know. Not all alcoholics need to have a drink to "Get rid of the pain." Bailey should have been portrayed as more of a kid that lost what was important to his life because he liked the way it made him unwind and feel better about the things in his life. Instead, he is made out to be like without alcohol nothing was right. I know a couple of alcoholics and a few of them say they drink because, it helps them to get through life, not because they wanted to drown themselves in their problems.
