Fantastic tale of mishaps, abuse and humor

Augusten, I feel like I know you after reading this. What an amazing story. The fact that a child went through such abuse and insanity, and then evolved out of it to write a hilarious account of it....amazing.

throughly entertaining

I like to read about other peoples lives, especially the unusual ones. This is a story of a boy and his hysterical reaction to his horrific childhood. With such humor and audacity I was glued to the pages waiting for the next bizarre event or shocking visual. I really enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend it to others who thinks that their life was f***ed-up!?

Hilarious. Honest. Amazing.

This is definitely one of the best books I've ever read. Any praise I give it will probably not do it justice. Read this book if you need to laugh at yourself and the rest of humanity.

Not Quite Sedaris

Reviewers compared him to David Sedaris. And while I'm not rolling with laughter like I do with Mr. Sedaris, I did find myself chuckling quite a bit. Ultimately, a fun read.

Falling All Over "Scissors"

I wouldn't call myself an avid reader per se. Perhaps its simply because there have been very few books that can hold the attention of my ever shifting mind, none the less Running With Scissors kept my attention from page to page making it impossible to put down. I read the book in entirety in a little bit under a day in a half. From the moment that I started reading it I found myself addicted. Turning page after page unable to stop. If you are looking for a profound meaning to be found in the contents of this book you will be reading it in vain. Pure light hearted fun with discriptions that will remind you of what it is like to see life through the eyes of an adolescent child. You will find pure enjoyment, shock and surprise with each chapter you read. It is definately worth your time and money and is a pure joy to read.
