A crazy ride through human insanity. A story somewhat like a much later issued 'Glass Castle' but unlike the latter this one is completely divorsed from any resemblance of reason.

A horrible, horrifying and darkly disturbing book. I picked it up at random decades ago and am still disliking it with passion.

I'll rant at it some more at some later time. ...more

This book caught me completely offguard and I'm so thankful. ...more
