A review by crystalreading
Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs

3.0

This is one of the most bizarre living situations that I have ever encountered in literature. It seems stranger than fiction. What is so uncomfortable about it is the memoir aspect. My husband had watched the movie and never realized it was based on real-life events. If what the author recounts is actually true, he has been extremely transparent. Yikes. This book is disturbing in its revelations. It is a page turner, but I almost felt guilty for looking into someone's life in a rubbernecker kind of way.
