Review: Bleak and Depressing
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 11 24, 2013
The main character does much whingeing, moaning and complaining about his lot in life, his wretched younger brother and what a negative impact his birth was.  A childhood bully grows into an adult sadistic bully, yet the protagonist continues to trust and confide in him.  He's pretty much a stupid eejit, not recognizing the signs of danger around him and only showing his weak, spineless side.  The buildup seemed to be leading to an explosive conclusion, but instead the book ended with more of a rushed fizzle.  I finished it hoping for a different ending.  Now I'm still debating between 2 and 3 stars.
