Negative Positive
Title: Extremely unsettling
Review: I felt truly sick after finishing this book. How could someone be even partially sane after living as Augusten did during his childhood and adolescence? Do people as emotionally bereft and unbalanced as the characters in this book really exist? Surely somone other than the waitress at the diner had the good sense and compassion to intercede in the insanity? Wouldn't the neighbors in the psychiatrist's neighborhood have registered numerous complaints with the authorities? My heart is unbelievably heavy at the thought that anyone, especially a child, has lived or lives like this.
Is the review positive or negative?
