This True Crime novel of Jason and Matthew's killing of their mother is an interesting one. Dirman gets you on the boy's side for the entire beginning of the novel and you yourself would understand why someone would want to kill the woman they call mom. She abuses them, belittles them, and lets her schizophrenia take control. The entire time you wonder why no on intervenes with the rearing of these two boys. Then as the madness becomes too much Jason decides the only way to get rid of her is to kill her. Matthew goes along with it but doesn't commit to helping in anyway whatsoever. After killing her, Jason disposes the body a way he sees in the latest Sopranos episode by cutting off her head and hands. Matthew helps him as he goes off to dispose of the body, leaving the head and hands in the hall closet of their apartment. Towards the end, as Jason lies more and as you see another side of both of the boys you begin to question how you felt in the beginning. You begin to wonder if they were really so abused and if they ever abused back. It is a really easy read and keeps you interested.
