I must admit that I caught the movie a few months ago and thought it was fabulous. It inspired me to order this book and read it. I loved it. I kept cracking up when he referenced Macaulay Culkin knowing that he ended up in the movie. Anyway, the book tells the story of Michael Alig and how he and a friend killed a drug dealer. It takes place during the rise and fall of the club kid scene which I found interesting. I could hear Seth Green's and Macaulay Culkin's interpretations of the character in the movie version while reading. I enjoyed that. Normally, that would annoy me, but it really helped me hear the story. Overall, I think it was a great read.
