This was a hard book to read. So much negativity and "snarky" commentary. It was interesting to try to figure out which character to relate to. I recognized traits written about in people I know (some of them relatives, I saw my son in there at times, luckily he is not violent). I often got tired of the "big words" -- like I should have a dictionary by my side. I'm intelligent and well read, but at times it seemed as though she is just showing off her vast vocabulary when the point of the paragraph could have been more simply stated.

It kept me interested enough to finish and find out what exactly happened.
