This is torture. TORTURE. How does she write like this? How can anyone's writing be so inconsistent?
At the beginning of the book, she called herself a "somnambulant child" and 100 pages later she's talking to a stuffed crow after seeing Salvador Dali. This is not even okay!! She switches topics randomly mid-paragraph, she tells a ton of stories and then decides to mention the date randomly, BUT WHAT YEAR IS IT!!?!?

I'm skimming through chapters and writing insulting remarks on the sides of the pages. I'm wondering, is there a point that I'm missing? Did she hit a point where she thought "ah! THIS is why I'm going to write a book, because I want to ______" Why was this book written? Just to endlessly name outdated celebrities and drown me in explicit and unneeded information about one of so many mediocre love stories. Rubbish!

I forget what it feels like to want to reads. I begin dreading reading time. I've gone three days straight without reading, that's the longest I've been without reading since May. This is ridiculous, did she even read this after she wrote it? How can anyone that dares to write a book go from a paragraph about poetry, to one about the first time smoking pot, to one about some guy on the fifth floor? I feel nauseous.

Alright, so, it's no secret that Patti Smith is not the most fluid writer.
Just the idea that she spelled out her childhood like it's some kind of 20th century novel, making it sound all scary and grave when she had a fever, I mean, I would've done just fine if she just flatly explained how big a deal it was.
I have to say though, it does step up once she starts talking about Robert, really charming.
