I didn't finish it because it was due back before I read the whole 900 pages. I found it difficult going. The writing style was compelling and easy to read.The subject matter- schizophrenia, child abuse, self mutilation, dysfunctional relationships etc. was not exactly light reading (lol). It eventually gets to redemption but I never made to that part. The book had mixed reviews. If you really want to get terribly depressed and live with a lot of of unhappy people- this is your book! If you want to see how good eventually triumphs and are willing to slog through the 900 pages to find it it's all here for you. Wally Lamb also wrote "She's Come Undone" and Oprah loves him so he's made his $$$ bucks from complex mental problems. Nancy | |
