I do not like to give up on books, but I could not get past the first 60 pages of the book. The way the story was written did nothing to help draw me into storyline. Disappointing, as I was looking forward to reading this one!

Literary fiction that is all showing & no telling can be horrifically boring. This book was a total sleeping pill. You couldn't give 2 cents about the characters, the narrator especially. I kept going only to see what happened to the brother and it's not really answered. Bad, bad, bad!
If I had to sum this book up in one word, it would be "sucked". Not one character was likeable. The story was slow moving. I skipped the entire middle of the book. I was really looking forward to this one and was disappointed.
I made it 50 pages, it was written as if the teenager that the story was told by actually wrote the story, it was slow moving, I found myself not caring at all what happened to any of the characters and just didn't want to put forth any nmore effort into this slow moving poorly written book.
