A good story with a vividly rendered background of an impoverished small town in the California desert. This is a the book that uses the term (shock! Horror!) "scrotum," which likely would have escaped my notice, if not for the hullabaloo about it. [parenthetical: with all the vulgarity we are constantly assulted by, a somewhat comic but perfectly respectful anotomical reference seems quite beside the point ] The twelve step references (including the "Higher Power) and allusions to addiction might be troubling for some parents. For my part, I thought the book provided a gentle introduction to some serious issues.
