This is the worst and stupidest book ever written. Do not waste your time. I am baffled at all the high praise it has received. The plot is lackluster, the characters are neither lovable nor sympathetic. As I read, I felt like the author was just trying SO HARD to come up with the most outrageous and absurd characters and plot lines they could, and it did not work for them. Truly a horror and a waste of time unless you like incest and bad writing.
