I wasn't quite sure of this book starting out. I almost stopped reading, but I sure glad I didn't stop. It was a slow start, then it grabbed me and I couldn't put it down. I got extremely invested in the characters. You start loving the characters you hate. The story was compelling. The writer took you THERE. I smelled the awful smells she described, I felt the blows rained down on the characters, I laughed, cried. The author's ability to describe places and events is profound.I was invested in the book and wished it never ended. I am still thinking about it the next day. There is no bigger compliment I think a reader can give an author.
