An unnamed protagonist recounts his youth, mainly revolving around the divorce between his mom and his cocaine-addicted dad.
I really like Amsden's writing voice -- it's rambling, but it's calculated rambling. Parts of this book were darkly hilarious, like when his dad takes him to a crack house and then the author (who is 9 or 10 at the time) watches a porn video while his dad and some other guy do coke in another room.
Overall, the topic isn't original (divorce and its consequences), but show more sylistically, this book is great. show less
