"This was an excellent read. Nothing fluffy about this book. If you think you come from a dysfunctional background, after you read this book you will feel relatively normal!! Lots of unexpectedness (is that even a word?) in this novel. "

" uh, I liked this book until it took a crazy turn. The ending was nuts. "
— Bianca, 6/26/2011 -
" A complicated, epic story worth reading. "
— Jen, 6/11/2011 -
" This book made me fall in love over and over with the craft of writing. The subject is not one that I'll ever be comfortable wtih -- the storytelling is superb nonetheless. "
— Victoria, 6/9/2011 -
" Intense, disturbing and almost two books in one. The first part alone would have been enough to deal with. The second half just drives home the relentlessness of the human condition, especially in isolated communities. "
— Robert, 5/29/2011 -
" Unbelievably good. A family with secrets, tragedies and love that will haunt you forever. "
— Carol, 5/25/2011 -
" A bit of everything in the book. ever really got off the ground "
— Ann, 5/23/2011 -
" When I finished it, I laid it on my chest and just let the mindfuck take over. I've read it about 5 times since. Terrific book. "
— Malysa, 5/22/2011 -
" I think I missed some things, maybe, I dunno, I didn't get this. There was a lot going on. It was very well written, just lots to take in. Good overall. "
— Shawna, 5/19/2011 -
" The writing is gorgeous, but I got bored. Melodramatic and over-wrought. However, I did finish the entire novel and don't resent a bit of the time I spent on it. So that says a lot. ;) "
