I guess I was reading bad book after bad book. Well, you can see how I felt about this book right away. And all I can remember is that it was really weird and I like the movie better, which I didn't exactly like the movie. I don't recommend this one to anyone I know. So lets just leave it at that. (and then I didn't) Sorry to Augusten Burroughs to not remembering what he wrote. From what I can remember, he was a good writer, but I just didn't like the subject. The little boy was passed around, almost unwanted. His parents were unstable, and he was introduced to sex at a very young age and I just don't like reading about abuse.
I know that this is a memoir and I hope and pray most of this wasn't true. Come to think of it, it could be true to young Augusten's mind. When you are young, you perceive things differently and things might happen one way, but in your young mind it could play out in a different way. That's a better way to think of it. I hope that was the style of Burroughs writing. I haven't read any of his other stuff...wait either it's all memoirs or true stories. I think I'll probably not read any of those. 2 stars
