Reviews
Praise for Toil & Trouble : "Burroughs' unique ability to translate his fears, anxieties, and dreams into something universal that feels a little like, well, magic ...This hilarious and spellbinding memoir will generate a whirl of requests." -- Booklist , starred review Praise for Augusten Burroughs: "A satisfying success story from a reliably outspoken raconteur." -- Kirkus on Lust & Wonder "All of the wisdom he dispenses in his new book-delivered with the dark, acidic humor we've come to expect is certainly well-earned." -- The Boston Glob e on This is How " Dry is more than a heartbreaking tale; it's a heroic one. As with its predecessor, we finish the book amazed not only that Burroughs can write so brilliantly, but that he's even alive." -- People on Dry "It makes a good run at blowing every other [memoir] out of the water." -- The Washington Post on Running with Scissors "Funny and rich with child's eye details of adults who have gone off the rails." -- The New York Times Book Review on Running with Scissors

Synopsis
From the number one New York Times bestselling author comes another stunning memoir that is tender, touching...and just a little spooky. "Here's a partial list of things I don't believe in: God. The Devil. Heaven. Hell. Bigfoot. Ancient Aliens. Past lives. Life after death. Vampires. Zombies. Reiki. Homeopathy. Rolfing. Reflexology. Note that 'witches' and 'witchcraft' are absent from this list. The thing is, I wouldn't believe in them, and I would privately ridicule any idiot who did, except for one thing: I am a witch." For as long as Augusten Burroughs could remember, he knew things he shouldn't have known. He manifested things that shouldn't have come to pass. And he told exactly no one about this, save one person: his mother. His mother reassured him that it was all perfectly normal, that he was descended from a long line of witches, going back to the days of the early American colonies. And that this family tree was filled with witches. It was a bond that he and his mother shared--until the day she left him in the care of her psychiatrist to be raised in his family (but that's a whole other story). After that, Augusten was on his own. On his own to navigate the world of this tricky power; on his own to either use or misuse this gift. From the hilarious to the terrifying, Toil & Trouble is a chronicle of one man's journey to understand himself, to reconcile the powers he can wield with things with which he is helpless. There are very few things that are coincidences, as you will learn in Toil & Trouble. Ghosts are real, trees can want to kill you, beavers are the spawn of Satan, houses are alive, and in the end, love is the most powerful magic of all., Master memoirist Augusten Burroughs delivers a hilarious and spooky account of his life as the descendant of witches.

Seller feedback (1,787)
- n***j (17)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSam accepted an offer for a lower price than he was asking for a Disney lunchbox. It was a fair price. He packaged it with more padding than I would have expected and sent it off immediately. It came in the condition that he described. He even included a personal note for me. It was a pleasure buying from him.
- 6***n (2)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe quality of this used book was even better than I expected! It was described as "like new", however, I'm not sure it had ever even been read before. It arrived in some of the best packing I have ever seen for a book....or anything else for that matter. A thoughtful, kind handwritten note was included that made it even more special. It is evident that this seller cares about customer service and takes great care in delivering their product. I would highly recommend purchasing from them!
