Helpful Score: 3


This was my first foray into the world of Mr. Burroughs, and I am now hooked. I've read two of his books and am hoping to find others on PBS :-D The author had a very odd childhood, one that would make most people turn into very unbecoming, hurtful people (which to a degree he does), but somehow he is able to share these sometimes painful tidbits in humorous language, giving just enough of the right details to make one feel as if he/she is standing in a corner of the room watching each story as it takes place. This is a very easy read that can be read one chapter at a time (as each chapter focuses on a different story).
