Being the mother of a 5yo and 5 month old, this story was very hard to read, but brought back high school and all of its political nuances. Having 'read' it on CD was helpful to me, as I think the style/format lends itself to hearing the story since the story jumps forward and backward in time. Very well written and insightful. I have to agree with others that the ending was disappointing and seemed to reach to far to make a point that could have been made without quite so much drama. I enjoyed it and will recommend to other mothers with small children as a guide to 'pay attention' to your kids regardless of their rank in the social strata.
