This is a great book that takes you through a woman's life of running away. As the story unfold, we learn about her past and find part of ourselves in her. The book makes you think about everyday things that we take for-granted. I reccomend this book strongly for everyone!

It was a quick read, but I thought it lacked depth, substance and good writing. A very depressing story in a slightly mediocre package.

Anyone who reads this book as just another saga of a dysfunctional family is not used to reading real literature. I particularly loved McFall's philosophical take on life -- rather dark, to say the least, but deeply real and no delusions allowed (except maybe the biggest delusion, that the people we love are good). The character of the brother, and his horrific interactions with the narrator as a little girl -- ouch. Yet there's some redemption at the end, without going all sappy by any means. I really enjoyed this, but then I like a book that doesn't sugarcoat reality as I see it. The style is fairly minimal, not overwritten, not a lot of description to slow things down. Some images are likely to stay with me for a long time.

This is one of the best books I've ever read. Lynne McFall does a great job of showing Sarah Blight's personality. Also it's very easy to get into the story, because of the unusual yet realistic nature. Once I got this book I couldn't put it down. This book made me not only laugh, but it also made me cry. I recomend this book to everyone 14 and up.
