I liked it until I googled the author and I don't like that I don't know what really happened and what was fabricated for the book

Well written and entertaining considering the serious subject matter. The narration was excellent. One of the few times I would say that listening to this book, with such entertaining narration was actually better than reading it. I have done both. Enjoy!

Pretty good overall, kept me interested.

I absolutely love it. Great humor if you have an open mind

Running with scissors is one of the most intense books I have read in awhile. It is funny, painful, tragic and a bit disturbing all at the same time. From start to finish I couldn't put the book down. I recommend this book to anyone willing to read something weird and unorthodox. However this book is not for everyone, reader discretion is advice.

This tale of a young boy taken in by his mother's psychiatrist and his bizarre family is funny, sad and uncomfortable all at the same time. But you will not be able to put this story down. I highly recommend this quirky and colorful tale.
