Title: Cruel Juvenile Realism
Review: What I liked about this novel is it's representation of cruel juvenile realism. For children this kind of cruelty seems real. Adults hate you. Your parents hate you. Your peers hate you. You are ugly and stupid. Women don't want you unless you can give them a nice illusion of the future. All these realities are things we all experienced. In childhood you are controlled by your fears. Then your fears become your reality. There is so much drama growing up. Then there is the horrible boredom when you reach adulthood. These trapped feelings leave a sour taste in your mouth. The economy beats you up. The stupid wars beat you up. Your job beats you up. Your family and friends beat you up. OMG! That's what I got from this novel. That feeling of OMG like I had as a kid. Life really is a vile thing when you strip out the hope. But individuals have more control over their happiness than they realize. It seems to take a whole lifetime to figure that out.
