Crazy Finches.

The Finches do crazy things. They install their own skylights, move everything outside and live there. Their house is a MESS. I don't understand how people live like that. It doesn't make sense.

Last week I put this book off for a couple of days to do other stuff I guess. But I picked Running with Scissors up again and I couldn't put it down. It ended up being around 2 or 3 in the morning when I finished, which wasn't good because I had other stuff I should have been doing.

Besides the Finches messy house and unusual behavior, the ending really bothered me. It was just like "My mom accused Dr. Finch of raping her. I believed her. I left the Finches for good to be on my own. Epilogue. The End." I felt like there wasn't any closure, but that's life I suppose... But I do really wish I could have seen Augusten's furture. I know he's written other books so perhaps next time I'm at the library I'll look for them. I enjoyed his writing a lot in this book so I definitely think I'll read Dry which is mentioned in the back of my book.

One thing that I wish had been touched on more was how his parents got to where they were. Burrough kept talking about how both his mom and his dad were from Georgia. And how he could remember being at his grandmother's house. I just wish I knew because well, I'm from Georgia, I live in Georgia and I like reading things about Georgia because I can relate a little bit.
