Running With Scissors is a memoir describing the unusual childhood and teenage years of Augusten Burroughs. Augusten lived in a clean and neatly polished home with his fighting parents until the age of twelve. This is where his life changes drastically, as his mother sends him to live with their psychiatrist. Augusten is then stuck in a dysfunctional, dirty household with no rules or structure.
Although some parts of this memoir disturbed me, I still found it funny in a twisted way. While reading Running With Scissors, I sometimes felt like some of the events occurring were fictional. It was hard for me to believe that Augusten experienced such things as young as he was. Running With Scissors transported me into another world were free will was taken to the next level. Most of the time I enjoyed reading about Augusten's bizarre childhood.
