Review title: sorry I didn't like it
Product review: I wanted to like this book, especially as I have a brother who is mentally handicapped, and I'm really interested in books that deal with that topic. However, I found the characters to be self-indulgent, whiny, weak and unappealing. The two exceptions are the truck driver - a lovely fellow - and the girl with Down's syndrome, who was depicted sympathetically and well.Perhaps part of the problem was that I read it after I read The Girls - a novel about conjoined twins who are anything but self-pitying. After their brave embrace of life, I had no tolerance for the Doctor with everything, who couldn't get past his childhood, and who was so incredibly emotionally crippled.
