This book left many questions unanswered, but perhaps that was what the author wanted. It did indeed get me thinking about the characters well after I was finished reading the book. Although this novel falls under the general fiction category, it does have some elements of horror. I found the selfishness of the father to be very disturbing. Quite a bit was disturbing actually. The story kept me interested until the finish, and when all is said and done, I enjoyed it.
