Helpful Score: 1


Throughout most of this book i sat with my mouth hanging open. Initially it seemed as if the author was merely listing horrible experiences trying to shape it into a book. Eventually it did take shape. All families are dysfunctional but...this one takes the cake. This book will make you re-think how bad your own childhood TRULY was in comparison to something of the magnitude that this author has experienced. It will either inspire you to work harder or make you feel guilty that you've not worked hard enough. Either way, it's a worthy read and i would recommend it.
