Depressing enough for you?

lol, yeah.

If you’re not shocked by stories of child abuse and neglect and poverty, the author is actually quite funny. The boy’s thoughts and misunderstandings of what adults tell him or how they act or what he is taught about Catholicism. It’s all pretty hysterical from a pragmatic 7 year old.

I read it when the boys were about that age and just couldn't wrap my head around it.
