Would it turn you off & make you stop reading it, thinking that the author just wants someone to feel sorry for her, or would it be more interesting? What would be your opinion?

I would feel for that person being a survivor myself
I have often thought of writing a AB, for cathartic reasons
Plus, people like to read bad stuff, it's weird but they do

If drama and abuse is all the person's about, then I can only pray that they find whatever validation they need elsewhere. If someone is honestly seeking help which I am capable of providing, I do. If the person has fought the good fight to overcome major life devastations despite all odds, my money's on them. Those are the ones who are going to win when all is said and done.

Honestly, I think that would turn me off. To be truthful, an autobiography would certainly need to tell the negative aspects of one's life. But, it would need to be offset by the positive experiences. To me, it would be more interesting & more realistic to balance the good & the not-so-good.

I wouldn't choose that book to begin with, because it would be like reading my own life story (what's the point?) --
but many people feel inspired in learning how others have found the resilience and fortitude to survive and succeed despite horrible past experiences.

I'd probably by them a copy of Dr. Laura's book Bad Childhood, Good Life and tell them to stop living in the past.

I'd read it.
I like Running With Scissors, anyway, and there's a good bit of abuse in it.
