Review: The not so innocent fifties
Rating: 4 out of 5

Those of us who had our childhood in the fifties know that it was really  no Leave It To Beaver life.  The small town life in this small book conceals so much festering dysfunction; what's really sad here is that in each case of these psycho kids, there is so much mis-understanding.  Each character has a persona perceived by others, but inside, they are totally something else.  (But isn't that the way it is with all of us?)  It took me a few pages to get my bearings in this book; I believe it's a vintage one from the 1950's, and the writing style reflects this.  Once I got into the story, I had to keep reading to find out the connection between the characters.  My conclusions: Life is  all happenstance.
