Book Review of Running with Scissors

Running with Scissors
reviewed on + 27 more book reviews


I know how many people have read and loved this book, but I found it upsetting and disturbing. The bookjacket likened it to "David Sedaris writing 'The Hotel New Hampshire.'" That seems rather apt. And while I like both David Sedaris and John Irving, the combo of the two is kind of frightening.
