Title: INAPPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN
Review: I can't imagine what a child could learn from this book. The plot is trite, the characters pathetic and unlikeable, the language foul, and the writing juvenile. The book is supposedly the childrens' perspective after their father murders their mother. He apparently does so because she is going to expose his adultery with a student. In the end it is explained that "Who you are and what you are is partly because of who your parents,your grandparents, and even the ones before them were...We humans like to think we are free to choose our life. Maybe we are and maybe we aren't". The book then goes on to explain that the father has murdered their mother because of some perceived childhood traumas. Atleast in the end the daughter "walks slowly away". Luckily we're free to choose what books we read. Don't waste your time on this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
