review 1: When I picked this book up and read the back, I was expecting a story about someone in their late teens/twenties/early thirties choosing to change their path in life. How wrong I was. This is a story about childhood and teenage years, told through a child's eye. It takes the reader back to their own childhood and how they understood the world around them. As Janie's childhood takes place in the same decades as my own I totally related to all the cultural references - including swapping Keanu Reeves posters and listening to indie music - so I am a little bias as to how good this book is. Great writing style, great story, and all in all a great book.
review 2: This is described as a coming of age novel of the main character, Janie Ryan. She is born in Scotland, t... moreo a dirt poor, drunk of a mother who is in one bad relationship after another. The story was intense, witty, and incredibly sad all at the same time. It was depressing to see what Janie had to deal with growing up. Janie has the toughest of circumstances. Born into this life, she seems already doomed to just repeat the same cycle of her mother. Janie was such a great character. You can't help hoping throughout the whole story for her to rise above. The story basically starts from the moment Janie is born and follows the next 18 or so years of her life. The author used the colorful accent and dialogue who would hear in this area. Wish it just had not left me feeling so depressed about her and her families life. less
