Kelly Krisler writes the following about Running With Scissors :
Beautiful Journey if You Open Your Mind Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some will read 'Running With Scissors' and focus on the horrors of the dysfunction and abuse. rejoice in the author's ability to find humor in sadness. I rejoice in the author's ability to present an honest account of a period that might have stifled others. I found the book beautiful in the same way as 'Nightmares Echo', 'Lucky', 'A Child Called It' and 'My Fractured Life'. In fact, it reminded me a great deal of 'My Fractured Life', except without the Hollywood references. The ability to find beauty in sadness and humor in despair is peculiarly stirring. It is a wonderful journey
