Good story. Good story teller.

The story is almost unbelievable, and she acknowledges this by pointing to her memory and to her family's reputation as being liars. With that aside, the book is a worthwhile read. She tells a story of a very difficult childhood without any self-pity, blame, or triumph. These are the three typical avenues that writers take when telling their dark stories. Anyone who considers this book boring obviously did not connect, which reflects the reader and not the book.

Poetic Justice!

I can't say enough good things about this book. The story of Mary Karr's childhood is absolutely gripping. She tells her story of growing up in Texas and Colorado with her completely dysfunctional family, and keeps the reader engrossed in her story and laughing most of the way! Mary Karr's writing style is so descriptive and poetic. I can't wait to read the follow-up to this book, Cherry.

Wow!

One of the best reads! She writes like a real person. It was just like being in her mind as a child. Brought back lots of feelings & thoughts from my childhood. I enjoyed Cherry, also. I would buy any book written by Mary Karr!
