Negative Positive
Title: Difficult for me to believe.
Review: I am generally skeptical when reading "memoirs," so take this review with a grain of salt, althought I must admit, I love the genre.Running... brought me back to A Million Little Pieces with regard to the overall story being believable. Without giving away the content, I simply don't believe Augusten Burroughs account of his life. Do I have proof, NO. He comes across sensationalizing everything, and to me it was not an honest account of his life. Was there dysfunction in his home, defenitly, but I can't say that I know anybody who had a perfectly functional upbringing.It is also quite coincidental that I just read how the publisher is including a blurb in each book going forward, a disclamer of possible embellishment in all of Burroughs books.Bottom line: Augusten should change his last name to Frey.I am still awating a memoir where an author proves facts of their life, so I can finally classify it a true memoir.
Is the review positive or negative?
