I had to DL this after reading all the reviews. When a story has a lot of 5 stars and a lot of 1 stars, *something* about it is hitting the right chords.So, I read it. And while I "get it" (I'm pretty sure I get it) I admit to confuzzlement about the ending. No, not the obvious part of the ending; that was clear enough. But the twist? Other readers must have a different definition of what a "twist" ending is than I do.I found Schriver's style a combination of decent in getting the story across, and clumsy at the same time. The story itself...I don't have a problem with the main character's childhood (it happens) but the treatment of it just felt trivialized to me. It was all too much "In Your Face" and stereotyped even as Schiver shifted between past and present.While I think it's a good effort, I can't really give it more than three stars.
