1.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY, November 9, 2004

The only thing that reading McKuen is good for is a good laugh. He is so awful that its funny. Some of his works are stupid (such as comparing a world full of hate to a cat in garbage) and others are downright disgusting (comparing sex to a childhood story or fairy tale). Don't waste your money, I'm sure you have plenty of things that you could spend it on.
