Helpful Score: 2
really unique and engrossing novel about a really dysfunctional family-- i guess i read too many of those, but this one is definitely different, possibly disturbing depending on your tastes!
Gowdy's writing techniques in this book had me dumbfounded! i loved her exquisite mixed chronological text. i absolutely loved this book! the story is magnificent. it will make you both laugh and cry, and will make you think even your own family is normal! a truly great, read for a sophisticated reader.
just couldn't get into it.
