Description

The listing, Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs- a memoir has ended.

This book has been read once by me and once by my mother, so it's been flipped through. It's not in BRAND NEW crisp condition, but there are no rips/damages either. It's just used. There are 315 pages.

Here's what it says on the back;

Running with scissors is the true story of a boy whose mother (a poet with delusions of Anne Sexton) gave him away to be raised by her unorthodox psychiatrist who bore a striking resemblance to Santa Claus. So at the age of twelve, Burroughs found himself amidst Victorian squalor living with the doctor's bizarre family, and the befriending of a pedophile who resided in the backyard shed. The story of an outlaw childhood where rules were unheard of, and the Christmas tree stayed up all year-round, where Valium was consumed like candy, and if things got dull, an electroshock therapy machine could provide entertainment. The funny, harrowing, and bestselling account of an ordinary boy's survival under the most extraordinary circumstances.

It's a good book! A little sick and twisted at times..but a good read. It's crazy to think it was real.
