I read this book yesterday. I was at a Christmas Brunch with my family this weekend, and my stepmother suggested I read it, she said it would remind me of my own family. It was good, but also put me in a bad mood.
Interestingly, there was a lawsuit brought against the author by the family portrayed in the book, even though he changed their names.
"The defamation lawsuit filed against St. Martin’s Press and Augusten Burroughs by the Turcotte family for the author’s characterization of the clan in his bestselling memoir Running with Scissors has been settled, with both sides claiming at least partial victory."
