I had a hard time getting into this one. The flow was pretty slow for me and not much was happening throughout. There are glimpses into the characters' mindset but at times it seemed to lack coherency as thoughts jumped from one character straight to the next. Maybe that type of flow was intentional? If so, it didn't work well for me.

It's also a very despondent story with the main thread that of 7 year old Justy and life as seen through her eyes. Very bleak and without hope.

Overall not a bad read, but not a great one either...at least not for me.
