Title: Tragically Hilarious
Review: Bypassing the plot summary you can get from the other reviewers, I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to most people. I would not recommend it to my fundamentalist Christian friends or homophobic friends. But anyone else should appreciate the dark humor. The author somehow manages to reflect lightheartedly on what would otherwise be considered a tragic childhood by today's politically correct, over-reactive, society. Yes, what happened to this guy was awful, but his ability to look back on it and make us laugh is wonderful. I was captivated the whole time, never really wanting to put this book down. I couldn't wait to see what happened next. Burroughs really knows how to tell a story, and since it's based on truth, I really appreciated the epilogue.
Is the review positive or negative?
