Such a compelling story of a life lived through a blur of alcohol and anger.  Avery lived his live much as he was raised by his father, not with the love a child expects from his father, but with meanness and cruelty.  He showed this same meanness and cruelty to his own son Cody.  Yet Cody is the one who stands by him and cares for him when Avery gets cancer and we witness a change.  I read this book in one day.  This author I feel, has a very promising future.  He is able to bring the characters to life and to make the reader feel their pain, share their tears, and smile with their laughter.  The story flows seamlessly without any odd hitches and I love this in a book.  Elias Anderson is another author to watch for.
