I didn't finish this one because I couldn't stand Cornelia or Mat. I liked Lucy and Button but they weren't enough to carry the book for me. He was the biggest jerk in the world, especially towards the kids. Just because he has spent all his time raising his sisters doesn't mean he has to make Lucy do all the work of taking care of Button. It's hard to be respectful of Cornelia when she pretty much spends all her time being someone else's puppet. I really wanted to revoke her girl card because she was so pathetic. I know in the end she finds her voice, or at least I hope so but the road trip antics wasn't enough to keep my interest. I miss the humor and silliness that makes a typical Phillips book worthwhile.
