Interesting story line.

This was some book! Very good writing, many characters, interestingly developed. This is not all laughs, there are ups and downs but man those downs are killers. There are some very flawed parents, in fact almost all of the "grown-ups" are clearly damaged, and very damaging to their children. But I highly recommend this book, it is gripping, well-written, and a compelling story.
