Title: Run away from Running with Scissors
Review: Disturbing, if true, and even more so if not -- who would make up this stuff? I read lots of different kinds of literature, fiction and non-fiction, and have never had to stop reading a book because it was so disturbing. Such unbelievable tales of physical, psychological, and emotional abuse of a young child...it was more than I could take. The title "Running with Scissors" makes it sound like this is somehow amusing or at least someone enjoying living dangerously. I fail to see the amusement. I certainly hope that writing this book was therapeutic for the author. It did nothing for me but cause me to give thanks for what seems more and more like a normal, reasonable childhood experience -- but then, compared to the one in the book, everyone's experience falls in the realm of "normalcy."
