Review title: Great writer, great laughs, great book!
Product review: Alcohol abuse has always seemed to be handled with sadness in literature, film, music, etc, but for Burroughs - everything dark turns into dark humour.It's amazing that he can write about such a terrible time in his life with a smirk on his face. - He doesn't leave anything out, however humiliating (like coming home from rehab and finding hundreds of bottles of booze lying around that he hadn't noticed when he had been drinking!) scary (when he wakes up in an abandoned house in a bad part of town and has no idea where he is) Whilst Running with Scissors seemed to lag a bit in places, this will keep you hooked till the end.If you like reading about true life stories that will make you laugh, cry, laugh some more, feel sick, cringe, and laugh even MORE, then you'll totally dig this book.
