It started out sad and progressed to heartbreaking. Just when you think things are going to start turning around for the characters, all hell breaks loose and the story explodes into tragedy, immorality, and violence. The whole point of the book is the pervasive lack of redemption and the failure of hope in American culture. I would not recommend it to anyone. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/889317?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
