Title: Why?
Review: The main character survives a poisonous poet mother, murderous alcoholic born-again Christian, racist Mary Kay houswife, suicidal aging Hollywood actress, and Russian con artists. Throw in child abuse with father figures, verbal abuse with foster families, attempted murder, and dog attacks. Every character is extreme, every situation is extreme. There is no balance. Then after building to a climax with all these extreme characters and extreme events, all loose ends are tied up in a hurried few pages. The end result is an unsatisfying book. And the reader is left asking why. Why did I buy this book?
