Never really liked anything in BIO before but... this book is a hilarious, intelligent train-wreck. I'd recommend it to anyone with a smart, sick since of humor. Just finished reading it this week and bought it for my friend for his birthday.

I could not get past the second chapter, too many contradictions, too many footnotes.

I didn't think this book was funny at all.

Funny moments but I can't say this book was for me. It feels like Lawson is trying too hard; humor delivered via a frying pan to the side of the head. I would recommend reading something by David Sedaris, Bill Richardson, or Slone Crosley instead.

One of the most funny memoirs I've ever read.

Hilarious! Swiss Family Robinson meets Glass Castles.

I Loved this book! It made me laugh out loud on the bus to and from work. It will make you appreciate how sane you yourself are. It will make you appreciate how "normal" your own life is. If nothing else it will make you look back on those moments when you thought some variation on "My parents are crazy!" (admit it, you have thought it at some point in your life) and realize, no they really weren't. they were actually pretty darn sane. A great book to share with your siblings and anyone else with a "crazy" family.

It is a bit like Honey Boo Boo. Her life is so bad at parts but still she can make fun of it, kind of makes our lives not so bad in comparision. This book is the first book to make me laugh in a very long while but it was a bit long for this type of humour. I had to stop reading it after the the bit about the dog and the vultures. Lots of rude and funny comments, so if you are easily offended by swear words and references to the naughty bits, give it a miss.

This is a dumb book, like reading Honey BOOBOO. Might be funny if you were a red-neck. I waited a year to get this out of the library and finally gve up and bought it at Costco, thought I would LOVE it after reading the reviews ( I am barely through the 4th chapter) boring.

This book is hilarious and reminds me a lot of my childhood. Actually, it makes my childhood look like Leave it to Beaver. Refreshingly insane.

Let me preface this by saying that my dad was always bringing home crazy-ass shit. Rabbit skulls, rocks shaped like vegetables, angry possums, glass eyes, strange drifters he picked up on the road, a live porcupine in a rubber tire.
