Burrough's most emotional book so far -- a fine work.
3 of 3 found this helpful Being a great fan of Augusten Burroughs, I naturally wait in anticipation for his next work, and I was left utterly satisfied by his handling of the subject matter in this book. The book is a tougher read than his others because his emotions are much more raw in this book than his others. He handles what was undoubtedly one of the most painful, darkest parts of his life with honesty, sensitivity and grace. Burroughs' work is immensely empowering: to readers with a similar background or related struggles, it gives hope and courage, and I'm sure, in many cases, the strength to continue when the reader realizes that s/he is not alone in his/her situation. The entire book, despite its difficult subject, still glimmers with the sheen of the author's indomitable soul and offers optimism in the face of such insurmountable struggle. For the reader who has had a less-flawed, yet dysfunctional life, it offers reassurance that "maybe MY life wasn't so bad, after all." In any direction, for any reader, the book is a work of art -- of hope in times of great sadness, of strength in times of great adversity, and of fortitude at times when it would seem impossible to go on. Burroughs is one of the great memoir writers of our time, and the world is a better place for his insights and his maturity -- and most of all, his humor and good nature in the face of it all. Thank you, Augusten, for sharing yourself with us.
