I love this book!

This is by far one of the funniest books I have ever read. After reading Possible Side Effects I decided to buy as many books by Augusten Burroughs as I could.
I highly recommend this book to anyone with a twisted sense of humor. You will laugh out loud and repeat the stories to your friends, I promise.

Another GREAT Book from Burroughs

I love this book....a very easy read. The author has a great wit and interesting life story to tell.
It got my 16 year old son to read again.

Freaking Highlarious

Augusten Burroughs has a way of making mundane events laughable. Possible Side Effects has no plot. It's a series of recollections, but it's his cynical/naive/self destructive point of view that makes the work even more addictive than a continuous storyline.

I LOVED this book!

Possible Side Effects

Augusten Burroughs has the ability to to tell experiences at all stages of his young life and turn some not so great memories into side-splitting laughter. Who doesn't embellish (a little) once you have grabbed the attention of your audience? Well that is what he does, just enough to make the story humorous. If you need a little laughter READ THIS BOOK. After my eyes would dry, I had to go back and read that paragraph or page again - only to have the same result. These are all short stories so you don't feel (too) frustrated having to put the book down. My favorites were "The Wisdom Tooth", "Getting To No You", and "Moving Violations" . I loved this book and will soon be reading his others. I am glad my first read was "A Wolf at the Table" as it explained to me more about his quirky family - immediate and extended - although "..Wolf.." does not have the humor this book does. Not a book for youngsters - maybe not teens either. A few stories are quite liberal with language, but it is not offensive in the sense that it works with that particular experience. Would I recommend this book to my twentysomething son or daughter? YES.
