Title: Definitely over-sensationalized book...not worth the money
Review: I was hoping for a great memoir when I got this book but was greatly disappointed by chapter 5. I still had not found anything that made this book worth all the hype. Lots of childish material and misery-loves-company stories fill this book. Augusten definitely finds comfort in his role as a victim of society, molestation, family dysfunction, and just about every other form of abuse and/or disordered relationships you can imagine. I found the book only mildly interesting for the craziness of his upbringing, but the rest was very slow going. Not a memorable memoir.
Is the review positive or negative?
