An engaging read!
I really, really enjoyed this!
It employs great use of voice. The characters are so unlikable because they are so well written. The slow evolution of the plot keeps you engaged. There was great use of vocab and language. Many times it was like trying to take your eyes away from a car wreck but you had to keep with it, enticed by many funny turns of phrase and humorous episodes.
The narrative is told in two voices - the central character as a child and as an adult.
