Helpful Score: 2

This book was ok...not what I expected. I was not anticipating the dreary tone of this book, and almost stopped reading at one point. I did, however, want to know what happened to the various characters in the story, so I did read the whole thing. Even when there was a positive situation or happy feeling, it seemed to have lackluster and just trudged along. There were some lessons learned and events that turned out to have a good influence in the character's lives, but again, it seemed that even the joyful events were not really appreciated for what they were. Probably because the main characters were so mired down in their dreary lives and situations.

I guess it is a good story, but when I read a book such as this I do want to feel uplifted when the story calls for it...and at the end I'd like to be able to say "That was a good book." None of that happened as I read this book. I wouldn't recommend it.
