On further reflection, I do think the book suffers a bit from under-development of the secondary characters, especially Samson.

With Teeth is from the perspective of Sammie, who is dealing with her complicated relationship mostly with her son, but also her wife. From her perspective, everything seems super challenging and chaotic. Throughout the book we also see small snippets from the perspectives of some of the other characters in the story, giving their interpretation of what happened, and how they perceive Sammie.
I’m not sure that I’ve read a book that so effectively uses the unreliable narrator in this way. Through the end of the book you are constantly wondering what is really happening. When I finished, I was really unsure what to think, but on further reflection I think that I did really enjoy it.
