One of my favorite t-shirts shows a stick figure in a running motion holding a pair of scissors with the caption “Runs With Scissors.” That is my kind of humor.

As Augusten Burroughs tells the bizarre tale of a young boy’s life I kept thinking that this author has a really twisted imagination. The events that happen to this kid could not happen in real life. As I finished the book, my daughter told me that the book was based on Burroughs’ life.
This was his life!
