Title: Disturbing is an understatement
Review: I eagerly dove into this book, as I've heard great things about it from reviews and friends. However, this is one of the few books that I wish I could have a time machine to make myself never read this book. While the writing style was initially interesting, the book's contents soon took a nose dive to bizarre-ville. The brash, disgusting characters of the book make me wonder whether they were exaggerated or not. I found little humor in the blatant abusive childhood the author grew up in. Unlike ANGELA'S ASHES, which was depressing, yet humorous, this book is just depressing. The lack of humor I was promised by the back cover made it difficult for me to read the author's story of abandonment, rape, and neglect.
Is the review positive or negative?
