About this ebook
Kept in a bird-coop by his parents, Sunny McCreary endured a childhood of neglect, abuse and being bullied by pigeons, only to find it was all downhill from there. In the course of the most painful life ever, he survived tragedy and maiming, a savage convent school education, being pimped out in pink-satin hot pants, a degrading addiction to helium, and having a baboon’s arse grafted onto his face. Then things got really bad.
More horrible than A Child Called It, more heartrending than Ugly, more repulsive than the Alastair Campbell diaries, My Godawful Life is the misery memoir to end all misery memoirs and the feel-bad book of the year.
"At last, a book to satirise the endless parade of misery memoirs. I seized upon this like manna from Heaven ... A glorious overload of dysfunction." Sue Baker, Publishing News

Usually in my flirtations with the literature of pain, I am disappointed to discover that the author has but one, two, perhaps four periods of striking horror in their life. Not so with this fascinating tome. From cover to cover, Sunny McCreary brings the agony, betrayal, addiction, violence, disease, and more rape than you can handle. There was scarcely a page that failed to leave me squirming with vicarious misery. Indeed, the only thing worse than this man's life is missing your chance to read about it.

Cannot follow the story line. Only skips from one horrible story to another. Seems writer only wanted to gross reader out. Disgustingly written.
