Not since Lionel Shriver brought us We Need to Talk About Kevin has a writer delved into the complexities of a disturbed mother/son relationship. Until now. Throw in a music loving sister and older psycho brother who has decided his name should be "Reb" and you have a really close family. This book follows the Morrow Family, but in particular Michael Morrow, the second son and the one who doesn't quite fit in.

Because he really has to provide for the family because times is rough.

The relationship between Michael and his sister, Misty, was heartbreaking and that between Michael and his brother, Reb, the most disturbing and dysfunctional of all. So I was expecting (and received) blood and gore. What I did not plan for was for such a deep story. The getting there was all the fun (???? – if you’re nuts like Mitchell). As for my reaction? I don’t do so well with feelings. They tend to make me all . . . .
