![]() It does contains swearing, fights and sex scenes. It’s a brutally honest, open and a heart breaking read. ![]() My Review My friend recommended this one to me and lent me her copy and from the start I could tell this was different from what I usually read. The funny, harrowing and bestselling account of an ordinary boy’s survival under the most extraordinary circumstances. The story of an outlaw childhood where rules were unheard of, and the Christmas tree stayed up all year round, where Valium was consumed like candy, and if things got dull an electroshock- therapy machine could provide entertainment. So at the age of twelve, Burroughs found himself amidst Victorian squalor living with the doctor’s bizarre family, and befriending a pedophile who resided in the backyard shed. Blurb Running with Scissors is the true story of a boy whose mother (a poet with delusions of Anne Sexton) gave him away to be raised by her unorthodox psychiatrist who bore a striking resemblance to Santa Claus. ![]()
