exsquirrelfriend 's review for:

Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs
5.0

If you like David Sedaris, you will love this. Burroughs writes about his unimaginable life with his mother and her psychiatrist with humor and a sort of detachment that only a kid (or a jaded adult) could have. It is endlessly entertaining and definitely hard to read at certain points. You root for Burroughs even when he makes mistakes.
