Sex, Drug, and Cocoa Puffs by Klosterman Memoir

In the beginning he is automatically realistic. When he says a woman will never satisfy him he balances it with the fact that he will never satisfy a woman. I enjoyed the sequence of events. Klosterman states that he will come back in fifteen years and look back on this piece, not changing how he felt. Although others who might interview him would question his feelings fifteen years later he will hold true to what he said. He even goes as far as to say that he will lie to them saying he loves woman, but in reality his views haven’t changed. I think it is brilliant to make such a comment in this piece because the reader gets a chuckle and can laugh at him, which only made me want to continue reading more. The way he said he wanted fake love was interesting to me because it is not how most people view love, and least the way i view it.

Klostermans diction for me was what really kept me going. The way he situated it and the exact diction he used I could relate to, because as a college student you probably not only hear those words but say them occasionally if not often. Furthermore when he depicts scenarios that the girl was in (the Coldplay concert, and the relations between different TV characters) it made me think back to similar times when I had a friend, family, or even myself amongst such a time. Something of irony was when he said he was being bitter, yet the whole memoir was one bitter sentence after another. So this memoir was written to show up that you dont have to be perfect for that woman or man and if they do not like it then you do not need them in your life. In the end it was a brilliant memoir that really caught my attention.
