Did it keep me reading until the end? Yes.
Did I cringe several times while reading? Yes.
Was the cringe from quality of the writing and not from the scenes themselves? Yes.
I never know how to rate books that keep me reading, but disappoint at the same time. There was a lot of good in this book. That's probably what made the bad so cringe inducing. ...more

I picked up this book because I had heard that it was going to be made into a movie. I am a firm believer that the book is always better. I thought it was really well written and completely heart-wrenching. When it finally came out, I could not bring myself to see the movie because I could imagine how awful these scenes would be. You learn how childhood events scar the protagonist through adulthood and that it is ultimately the love he had for his best friend that drives him to right the wrong.
I learned that writing workshops can make a first novelist learn to be good again.
