It is a well told coming of age story as related by the younger of a pair of troubled brothers. The only reason I've given it three stars as opposed to four is I am not sure of it's re-read value. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/127340?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
