Running+With+Scissors

REALITY CHECK Running With Scissors is a memoir by Augusten Burroughs, whos the main character. This is rough book to read. In the back of your head you think this is a true story written by the man. The book deals with real life situations, like mental illness, alcoholism, and family dysfunction. For some, this book may put things in perspective. If you think that you have it bad, read this and find out what it means to have it bad. Augusten endures his mother not taking care of him, never seeing his father, living in a mad house with a psychiatrist.
