Warning: Very disturbing subject matter, for mature audiences only. 
 For sure Augusten Burroughs is an amazing writer. His descriptions are unique, clever and refreshingly odd. 
 "She walked with the gait of a horse wrangler and her forearms were thick and muscular, like she'd had loaves of French bread implanted under the skin." 
 His words are not the type to tell a fairytale, but they paint a very real picture in my head, however unpleasant the pictures might be. He is very talented. 
 I can't really say I "enjoyed" this book, but I did find it fascinating, in a morbid sort of way. I found much of the subject matter disgusting and deeply disturbing, but I admire him for surviving through his childhood and making something of himself. I don't know how he lives his life now, but I hope he's found some peace in God along with his success.
