Well, this is the latest part of the author's life. This one deals with his relationship with his father and seems to all have taken place BEFORE Running With Scissors.

I had now read all of his books and I really admired the first few, but these last few (Possible Side Effects annd A Wolf At The Table) I found myself saying ... Yeesh, enough is enough. Don't get me wrong, he has a BEAUTIFUL and TALENTED writing ability, but maybe he should try to write something else than his supposed life's story. (I only say "supposed" because of what I found out about Possible Side Effects from an almost hidden note from the author himself in the book ... how a lot of it was embellished and even some characters were somple made up ...)

Although, I like his writing style, I think this will be the last book on Augusten Burroughs life that he writes ...
