/5 (minimum 1)
by tom on 15 Nov 2006I spent the first half of this book wondering why I was bothering to read a story so riddled with messed up, abusive relationships. Thankfully after a while this eased off a bit, allowing the authors comic abilities to shine through more clearly. His descriptions of the Finch household are great, and he characterises people well. All in all, a fairly entertaining read once the heaviness eases off; I will probably read more by the same author, but won't be in a massive rush to do so.
