Rating:  - Running with Scissors: A Memoir
I loved this book. I have read it numerous times and I still Laugh my butt off. Way better than the movie, but the movie does hold it's own. I look forward to reading this book for years to come.
Rating: - Wonderful read for good laughs
A little awkward during some sections, but funny/ witty throughout its entirety. If you like reading about things that seem crazy, this is a MUST read for you.

talk about WEIRD childhood....reading this book left me blank....i don't know if i hate it or love it.....this is weird because i usually feel strongly one way or another....i guess that what makes this book controversial....i am going to watch the movie and see how the director "sees" the book.....i am sure it will be interesting to watch.

Rating: - A humorous romp through an unusual childhood
Running With Scissors is an outstanding book. It's laugh-out-loud hilarious, often shocking and, at times, sad. There are enough unusual surprises in the book that I don't want to ruin them for you by giving away plot lines. Suffice to say, there's twists and turns along the way that are stranger than fiction.
A similar book I enjoyed was When You Are Engulfed in Flames
