Helpful Score: 2

This book, as with most by this author, is very, very base. It's also a little disturbing. One of the main characters is Lucy's little brother-whose goal in life is to collect 50 different words for liquor. He dies tragically when he's got only 47. The way Lucy determines to honor him is by collecting the remaining 3 names, plus one more. This book really seems to magnify the low, dirty aspects of the California gold rush.
