About this ebook
Step into the booth. Check your judgments at the curtain. Close your eyes. Listen: you can hear the voices of the visitors who sat here before you: some of the most twisted, drug-addled, deviant, lonely, lost, brilliant characters ever to be caught on film. What do you have to offer the booth?

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A mishmash of random ramblings, slices of life, and boring dialogue.
If there is a theme, it centers around Navarro setting up a photo booth in his house and making every visitor snap a roll. Others he actually pays for the shoot.
Some chapters are written by Navarro himself. Others, by god knows who.
You won’t get any significant insight into his life save for a bunch of disjointed episodes that are too random and unconnected to care about. Ultimately not very interesting or even worth finishing or even skimming.2 people found this helpful
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Good book.. BUT DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE IN FRESH RECOVERY OR HAVE URGES TO PARTY STILL. it's not meant to, but can make you get a craving if you are weak..if not, FOR SURE READ IT!
