Coreyography: Well, that was depressing..

Well, that was depressing.. and enlightening.. and depressing.

Reading Corey Feldman’s Coreyography was an strange ride. Textually it was well put together and easy to read. Thematically, this was dark, glossing over huge stretches of time and focusing heavily on people getting wrecked and their lives just falling apart. It was interesting to get insight into the pervasive ways that the film industry operates.

Coreyography plays out as an almost double memoir, written by Feldman, but focusing in a large amoint on his friend and cohort Corey Haim.

Half the movies I watched as a kid were filmed by coked out kids who hated their lives, wanted to commit (or tried to) suicide, and were molested., raped, or unknowingly supporting the molestation/rape culture..

Not sure what else to say.. Worth picking this one up, but keep the purell handy cause parts feel pretty dirty.

I am kind of worried now to read another book on my TBR - ‘I Want More’ which is the memoir of the child actor who played Veruca Salt in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
