Running with Scissors: A Memoir |
Rating: 3 (out of 5)
Summary: A great start in your Burroughs obsession.
Comments: This was a great memoir. My 1st Augusten Burroughs read AND memoir. Strange, witty, and sometimes uncomfortable to read, however all around enjoyable. The ending did upset me a bit... and please, STAY AWAY FROM THE MOVIE!! |
Rating: 1 (out of 5)

Summary: Creepy Yet Humorous
Comments: The childhood of Augusten Burrough's is for lack of a better word disturbing. The writer's tone is quite interesting and enjoyable. Considering how the book is a memoir written about the authors youth it can become gruesome especially the homosexual love scenes between the teenager and the thirty year old man. The people that are written about in the novel are all enjoyable to read about especially Hope, Deidre, and Natalie because the author writes about the women so beautifully. E character has his/her own personality. I do think that it is necessary to read the rest of the books about his life to get the whole perspective because this ends with something that could be considered a cliffhanger. |

Summary: An Attention Grabber!!
Comments: While reading this book I was taken aback by certain events that took place, I think to appreciate this book you have to have the type of personality that is easy going and you definitely have to have a warped sense of humor.
I really enjoyed this book, it was funny and appalling at the same time, it keep my attention the entire time. I can not wait to read, "Dry" and "A Wolf at the Table."
