 I laughed out loud a lot August 11, 2008
I loved this book. I have read most of Augusten Burrows's books and this was by far my favourite, he is laugh out loud naughty and is well able to describe the journey through re-hab, relationships and his friendship with Pighead which at times can make you cry as well as laugh. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
dry, unlike my eyes!! February 28, 2008
I highly recommend that everyone buy this book, especially those who have read running with scissors (an amazing account of his developmental years). This book is yet again highly entertaining and very funny, yet i found, extrememly sad at the end. no other book has managed to make me sob out loud for 50 solid pages!! So well written, i can't help but feel like he's now one of my best friends.
Superb February 4, 2008

One of the best books I've read in a long time: I couldn't put it down. Some laugh out loud parts coupled with some real tear jerking moments. Even better than 'Running with Scissors' (which was superb)
Very funny and very thoughtful January 1, 2008
This is one of my new favorite books. I couldn't put it down and finished it within one or two sittings. Augusten Burroughs is one of the funniest and most neurotic people I've had the pleasure of reading. He has such a quirkiness about him and he's so honest--even when it doesn't paint him so prettily.
I read this book at the kitchen table with my husband reading whatever he was reading. Every so often I'd laugh hysterically. My husband started ignoring my laughter so I had to interrupt him to tell him what was so funny. I could barely read these paragraphs aloud-- getting the words out while laughing so hard is always so difficult.
Anyways, this is really one of the best memoirs I've read. I was sorry to see it end. If you like this, also try James Frey's stuff. He's good, too. . . but very different.
I wanted to add one more thing: a couple of reviewers mentioned that "if you're gay", this book would be helpful, or relevant, or whatever. I think this book is great for ANYONE. Yeah, Burroughs is gay. But, more importantly, he's an interesting human being. You don't have to be gay to appreciate his writing or appreciate what he has to say
An eye opening read, hugely recommended to anyone. August 25, 2006

I bought this book as a random purchase from a book store, and never regretted it for a second..
I couldn't put this book down. I found it an interesting insight, if only scratching the surfaces at some points, to the life of this alcoholic.
In a recent discussion with a friend about books that changed my life, this book came up, I wouldn't say it changed my life, however, it has definatly made me think about some things in a different light and has opened my eyes hugely.. I would highgly recommend this book and have since readd many other Augesten Burroughs books.
