Negative Positive
Title: Compelling character study.
Review: This book is worth the work. Healy takes you into the world of his main character, Tom, a not-so-lovable, but very real individual at odds with his world. As Tom struggles to become a fully realized man you come to understand what makes him do and say the things he does. You come to understand what role family and our own mistakes play in forming the adults we become. No spoon-feeding or nicely wrapped up packages here, but instead an intense reading experience with characters so real the reading of it feels almost voyeuristic.
