While there were many times in this book that I had to momentarily stop reading to ask myself “did I really just read that?!” I truly enjoyed Running With Scissors. I couldn’t go five pages without reading something that shocked, disgusted, or intrigued me. I can’t believe some of the things that this boy went through by the time he was 16 years old. He went through more in those short 16 years than any person should have to go through their whole life. I can’t wait to read Augusten’s other books, and I’m even going to look into his brother’s book(s?).
