the author has great wit it was so funny in parts of it and in other parts i just wanted to put it down. It was very much like the plot of the stepfather's oncoming craziness he was up and then he was down and back again. It gives a little insight to the life of what could be a very really musician after all they do say all artists are at least a little crazy. i don't think i need to repeat the summary you can read that for yourself. Her Charters are so well thought out you and pretty much picture what they look like and act like right away. I would not really it again its not one of those but it was defiantly worth reading.
Great adolescent book by author who was a finalist for the National Book Award for her second book.
