Book Reviews of the A Wolf at the Table: A Memoir of My Father
Customer Review: That life has already been mined.
Summary: 1 Stars
I have read every book that Augusten Burroughs has written. "Running With Scissors" and "Dry" are two of my favorite books. I can't figure out why A.B. wrote this book. It was painful to read. I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to be getting out of this book; there is no life lesson, nothing entertaining, nothing compelling. He actually pulled off an amazing feat: He wrote a book that is harrowing and boring at the same time. Furthermore, because he writes about his father as a shadowy, mysterious figure, I never got a real sense of who (or what) his father was. This is just a series of painful stories about a horrible, abusive father. I didn't get it.
