Review: Odd but Interesting

First off, this book is disturbing with lots of violence, drugs and alcohol abuse, but most distubing is it's told from the view point of a child. I would not recommend for the teen audience.Oddly enough, the most believable thing in this book is the supernatural element. Jayne was a seriously confused individual; loving two men and still having a hard time chosing the one that didn't just put you in the hospital by way of a baseball bat…really? Also, you don't spend days in a medically induced coma because of a serious head injury only to be released 5hrs after they stop the IV meds…the author needs a friend in the medical field if she's going to continue to include hospital scenes in her books. Likewise, where did Casey come up with the money to suddenly go from the trailer park to an awesome piece of land with Jayne's dream house? These are just a few references, but I found myself reaching to buy into the story for most of the book.That being said, I did enjoy the book. It was certainly an interesting approach. I wish there had been more of an explaination on who Stephen was and more of a resolution with Johnny and his crooked uncle/cop.I would like to read more books with this theme, but maybe another author.
