Synopsis

When his dysfunctional family sent Augusten Burroughs away to be raised in the home of his mother’s therapist, he became part of an even more dysfunctional and unusual family dynamic. In this bestseller, which has become a classic of the wackier side of memoir literature, Burroughs doesn’t flinch at any grotesquerie or atrocity, recording it all--no matter how bizarre--with relish and with a delightfully twisted sense of humor.

Worth reading. You find yourself saying NO WAY, but yes way.

I laughed out loud many times while reading this book. It was witty and insightful and I'll definitely read it again.

This was a quirky, dark book. Very readable and definately made me feel wholesome and mainstream.
