I thoroughly enjoyed this book, definitely not for those who are easily offended. I found it extremely disturbing, graphic, and twisted. It was difficult to put down, like watching a train wreck, not that I've ever watched a train wreck, and yet it was quite funny. Augusten Burroughs had a bizarre childhood, talk about your dysfunctional family! I highly recommend this book.
