Query: Offensive and pathetic!

This book was recommended to me by a friend whose principals and taste I generally admire. I'm disappointed in her taste in reading material. The author's life as a young boy was in no way amusing or funny. In fact, it was outright offensive. I followed it to the end hoping for some redeeming moment, but never found it. Don't waste your time with this one.
