Lacks Self-Control: True Stories I Waited Until My Parents Died to Tell by Roy Sekoff is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary. This guy had some very strange stories at times but I think the strangest I thought was his colon cleansing period was the weirdest. Him and his room mate decided to get healthy and try the new coffee colon cleanse method, daily, for a week... it was strange reading and there would be no way I would voluntary for self torture like that. I have heard good things from it but I don't care how good, I am not trying it. Some of his other life adventures were pretty intriguing too but that was tops them all, lol. LACKS SELF CONTROL, by Roy Sekoff, is a laugh out loud series of stories from Roy Sekoff's unique past. Between growing up in a unique family, to having crazy celebrity exchanges through his work with Huffpost, to his own neurosis and borderline OCD, Roy seems to have a million stories to tell. There are a few what I would say "anecdotal" stories that generate a smirk or too, but with some of the stories I had to stop and laugh and find the nearest person to tell them what I just read. There is a rather gross (and funny) chapter about Roy's experiences with high colonics that was a little hard to stomach, When I finished the book, I was surprised it was over, I got the feeling there are so many more stories Roy could tell. My favorite chapter was his crazy New Orleans trip, and a close second was the chapter about Khloe Kardashian and Snoop Dogg. I wanted more, but nevertheless LACK'S SELF CONTROL was entertaining and comically and I would read another book of Roy Sekoff's life experience without hesitation. Thank you to Big A Books, Roy Sekoff, and Netgalley for copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

If David Sedaris, Chelsea Handler, Larry David, and Caitlin Moran had the unlikeliest orgy in history, the resulting love child might one day write a book like this rollicking collection of true tales from Roy Sekoff, the founding editor of the Huffington Post. Whether he's describing a teenage pilgrimage to a Times Square porn superstore, life-changing experiences with high colonics and psychic readings, an ill-fated attempt to make off with a tissue containing Oprah's tears, or that time Chevy Chase grabbed his balls at a funeral, Sekoff is a lively, irreverent raconteur whose sharp observations wring laughs out of a ludicrous-yet-relatable life.

This book is like having a goofy, intelligent old friend over for drinks. Sekoff’s personal stories are hilarious and, at times, enlightening. He’s just self-deprecating enough to be believable and trustworthy, and adventurous enough to have some good stories to tell. I’m now wondering if I’m missing out having never had a high colonic.
I learned a little and laughed a lot. Definitely pick this one up – you’ll speed through it and enjoy every page.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Big A Books for the advance copy in exchange for my review. ( )
