One Bloody Thing After Another
For starters, the title is very accurate. Make no mistake, there will be blood. There will also be a lot of laughter, and some sadness as well. Although this is not a traditional coming of age story, there are certainly elements of one offered in this book. One of the central characters, Jackie, is coming to terms with her mother's death, and with her feelings for her best friend, Ann. Ann has problems of her own, including how to keep her mother fed. Oh yeah, her mom is chained up in the basement. It gets even better. There's an old man with a less-than brilliant dog who is being followed by a headless ghost. I read the book twice before deciding whether I could recommend it, or whether it would be too weird. But I decided to go with it because I really did enjoy it, and I know that there are some of you out there who will enjoy it as much as I did.
