WOW - Look up the definition of "disturbing" and this book SHOULD be pictured. Or maybe the author's father. How anyone could survive a childhood like he described and still manage to function at all is beyond me.

This was a well-written, interesting book. It definitely lends insight into Buroughs'es other book, specifically "Running with Scissors". Anyone who has read and enjoyed his other works NEEDS to read this and get the back story. Be prepared to become fully engrossed and lose some sleep.
