Negative Positive
Title: Disturbing
Review: I have never before written a book review, but felt the need to express my contempt for this horror story. Augusten's story is one which should have been dealt with in the comfort of a therapist's office, not a book. If indeed Running with Scissors is a memoir, how has Augusten managed to live a functional life (assuming that he has)? I have never read such a dark, graphically sexual book in my life. I did not find a bit of his story touching, affectionate or humorous, just sad and pathetic and not worth the read.
Is the review positive or negative?
