Title: could't finish it
Review: I tried and tried with this book, getting more than half way through before just giving up. A father dies of cancer and the children (age 15 and 17+) scarcely know or care that he is sick. And he is a nice guy, a real nice guy. The police don't take kids seriously when they come in the day after their father's funeral to report that someone broke into their house and left a dead snake in the jello! And this is shortly after the same kid was slugged in the face with a baseball bat and spent time in the hospital. Uh............
Is the review positive or negative?
