I had a hard time getting into this book; in the beginning it was very difficult to tell what was happening and when. The past and present seemed to be represented at the same time. It is also one of those books that is a tragedy and the author lets you know right away what is going to happen. I usually don't like books like that. But I decided to give it a chance anyway because he is a local author. I was horribly disappointed. Here is another book that has only one female character who causes the sad and useless tragedy to happen in the first place. It is not the stupidity of the boys, their selfishness, drinking, or stoic silence that causes the problem, oh no. Of course it is the woman and her body that cause all the sadness and death. And worse it is not because of anything that she has done (other than think that she is as good as a man) but what the men around her do to "protect" her. And the author didn't let us know that that was the way it was to be until the very end, thanks. I would recommend not wasting your time. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67700199 to: Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture (Hardcover) by Ellen Ruppel Shell
