Role Models by John Waters My rating: 3 of 5 stars I got half-way through this book and lost interest. But I liked it in general. I was inspired by John Waters' independence and quirkiness. I like his writing and will probably pick it up again later. View all my reviews

A while back I did a review of his site on YouTube. It gives you a flavor of what he
