I could not put this book down. I agree with the other reviews in that it is mind boggling to think that this was someone's life and that the author's parents would choose to live like they did and make their children suffer by doing so. A rare glimpse at true poverty but heartening in that the poverty (and neglect) created unbreakable sibling bonds. Also, believe it or not, a pick me up. As it will make you feel like a superior parent on your worst days!
