I enjoyed this book very much. It is well-written with lots of humor. Some parts are rather depressing though. Narrated from the viewpoints of the different family members made for a very interesting read. The only problem I had was the voice of the child was a bit unbelievable for his age. The author is also very adept at allowing you to participate in each character's feelings and their mindset. I would recommend this book just for the unique writing style even though the subject matter of a dysfunctional family is not always enjoyable to read about.
