The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things by J.T. LeRoy

4.0

Think of this as the darker, angrier, more heart wrenching, dysfunctional cousin to Janet Fitch's "White Oleander". A sad conglomeration of tales from a poor boy's maladjusted childhood. It's so brutally beautiful and shocking, it's not unusual to have to stop in between chapters to take a moment for reflection. This is not one of those stories that end happily or things seem to look up for the main character. But man does it have one hell of a ride.
