Review title: not my thing
Product review: An interesting story.Her family's adventures aren't the kind I enjoy -- I kept expecting the inevitable Something Awful to happen, because the parents were clearly on a path to destruction. There's never really any such blowup, though; life just keeps going (albeit going way way downhill) and there's a certain detachment (even though the author certainly narrates lots of feelings about various events).Near the end, there's a nod toward how her parents inform her understanding of homelessness/the homeless, but it's not really delved into -- which is understandable, since it's not the point of the memoir.It's an interesting look at people who approach the world v. v. differently than I do (the narrator's parents) and people who grew up with v. v. different experiences than I did (the narrator and her siblings), but I'm not really compelled to recommend it to anyone (nor do I disagree with my initial sense, having read the bookjacket blurb, that I had no interest in reading this book).
