I read all three of the books in this trilogy and sometimes wonder why they are so popular. However, I have to admit being carried away with the story and was willing to accept the "unhappy endings" of so many of the characters.
What I cannot understand is the author's apparent fascination with the vicious brutality he inflicts on so many of his female and child characters. These events can be upsetting to even mature adults, so consider carefully before letting impressionable teenagers read these (or any of) McMurty's novels. We already have enough brutality in real life.
