Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs

challenging dark tense fast-paced

4.0

Running With Scissors follows Burroughs’ growing up in two crazy families, with a lot of messed up events and relationships both surrounding him and of his own. I wouldn’t call this a comedy like it’s advertised, maybe a dark comedy at best because anything funny was far outweighed by extremely confronting recounts of his problematic childhood, but I couldn’t put it down.
