Daisy-Head & The Single Life

Running with Scissors: A Memoir by Augusten Burroughs

My review:  3 of 5 stars
Dysfunctional doesn’t begin to describe this story. It made me laugh, as dysfunction is wont to do, but it was like reading a porn magazine in church. Horrible living conditions, inappropriate relationships, mental breakdowns, chaos. I’m sure similar situations have happened in reality, and I shouldn’t laugh. But I did. I didn’t really care about any of the characters, and I’ll forget them by tomorrow, but I was entertained for the moment.
