I was addicted to reading this book. Finished it in a week. This is Burroughs BEST work. I have heard that a movie is in the works, as long as it isn't as horrible as 'Running with Scissors' was, then I can't wait to see how they do that.
I can relate to Augusten in his career choices, making this enjoyable for me to read. Also, its a good semi-continuation to 'Running with Scissors.' I feel bad for this guy, his life (what is completely true from his 'memoirs') seems to have been absolutely ridiculous, but it makes for a GREAT book!
I'm addicted!!! Augusten Burroughs tells about his life and what led him into rehab and he tells it with such zest. He has such an odd sense of humor you can't help but to keep turning the pages. He allows you a peek inside his thought process and no matter how messed up it may seem I think at some point we all have had those thoughts but are too scared to let anyone in on it. This is a great read.
