 Written on August 8, 2008 Summary: Entertaining While skimming through the reviews for Running with Scissors, I noticed that readers either loved it or hated it. I think that it depends on how you look at the book. If you are expecting to be entertained by the bizarre stories that Burroughs tells throughout his memoir, I think you will love it. If you are expecting a great piece of literary work, not so much. Burroughs is comparable to David Sedaris, and although I have not read any of Sedaris's books, although I do own a few, I know that they are lightly written, you don't have to think while reading them books. I loved the book, I thought it was bizarre and hilarious, and I think that is all the reader is supposed to get out of it. So my opinion is that you will either love it or hate it depending on what your expectations of the book are.  Written on August 4, 2008 Summary: Pure Trash Augusten Burroughs should be ashamed of himself for writing such trash. It was neither funny...I can't beleive anyone would laugh at it, nor entertaining, nor horrible, because I don't for one minute beleive it was a true story. I read the first half and then threw it in the trachcan.  Written on July 24, 2008 Summary: genius More entertaining in a fascinating way than hilarious but still worth every minute spent reading. I couldn't put it down. I disagree with people who say this book is offensive; i'd rather read one of Augusten's books than watch any U.S. news channel anyday - at least his work displays intelligence and compassion. Written on July 23, 2008 Summary: Weird Yes, this book was bizarre. VERY bizarre. And there is a lot of homosexual sex in it along with loads of mental illness and somethings that will make you want to puke. I'm serious. All in all. It wasn't horrible but it made me think my life is pretty damn normal and this guy belongs on Jerry Springer. Written on July 13, 2008 Summary: Great Read This is a great book, it's a faced paced book, an easy read that you become somewhat addicted to the plot and characters. He's a great writer and his comparisons and images are amazing. |
