Running with Scissors: A Memoir
Date undefinedThis was a great memoir. My first Augusten Burroughs read AND memoir. Strange, witty, and sometimes uncomfortable to read, but all around enjoyable. The ending did upset me a bit... and please, STAY AWAY FROM THE MOVIE!

Date undefinedI tried to read it, I gave it a good shot but.... it's total trash.
nothing funny about it, plain trash.
I wish I could get my money back.
I just threw the book in the ...... TRASH !
don't buy it, don't read it.

Running with Scissors: A Memoir
Date undefinedThe 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 extremely 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 very enjoyable to read about especially Hope, Deidre, and Natalie because the author writes about the women so beautifully. Every 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.
