Review title: 'To be awake is to be available to torment' -McGrath.
Product review: The quote above accurately reflects my feelings about this book, for McGrath put me to sleep on more than one occasion.I can't decide which was worse: the listless, rambling descriptions (often of the most trivial details) or the dialogue, which came like bread heels -- stale and far apart. The miserable tedium of the entire novel can be avoided by reading the succinct little synopsis on the back cover: boy kills mother by mistake, blames father, is institutionalized, and becomes ever more delusional; this summary literally explains it all, and its brevity is highly preferable to the novel itself.A completely unremarkable and maddeningly pointless foray into ... madness.
