It’s not really a hodgepodge in that respect. It’s a fairly simply story told in a straightforward fashion—boy decides to hide away in basement, sister turns up, detoxes, leaves—but the simplicity is deceptive which is why I didn’t come away from the book feeling… how shall I put it?... comfortable with what happens. Of course I’ve not told you how it all ends and that has a bearing on how I judged all the characters here, not just the brother and sister. None of us knows what the future is going to bring and that’s the problem here. I think what <i>doesn’t</i> happen did as much to mix my emotions. Best read the book and decide for yourself.<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327348657265652781.post-28461429112728909892013-04-22T15:03:40.306+01:002013-04-22T15:03:40.306+01:00I think I might really like this book.

It sounds so unlike my normal reading - certainly anything I have in the pile just now - that I'm sure I'd enjoy it for that reason alone, but I'm also attracted by its rag bag nature. An intriguing review, if I might say so.Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.com
