Title: Like Watching a Bad Accident
Review: This book was overwhelmingly bad. The only reason I'm giving it two stars is because it managed to keep me interested enough to finish the book. While reading it, I kept asking myself "How stupid can these people be?"I kept reading the book in hopes that any one of these characters would have some redeeming quality, but that never happened. They were bad characters from Page 1. Whenever I thought this book couldn't get any worse, it did.I had no sympathy for the main characters. They were pitifully self centered and constantly acted to their own demise. The character I came closest to feeling sympathy for was Behrani, but then the writer would invariably add a trait that would make me lose sympathy.Also, Dubus' style of writing in changing from first to third person was highly frustrating and unsettling. I wish he had just picked a style and stayed with it.I was very unsatisfied with this story and wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy.
