I found this to be a very interesting read. It was very well written and I liked it stylistically. It seemed as if much of the book was narrated through the thought processes of the characters, as if they were just thinking outloud, which was intriguing, but caused many of the sentences to trail on. While it did help character development, I sometimes got lost in myriad thoughts and endless run on sentences. The characters were above all, very human, essentially good people stumbling through life as they could, by turns endearing and utterly infuriating. Overall, a very engrossing book, and one I had trouble putting down.
