Thank god and what a very mediocre ending! Angus and the sea was too predictable. I’m not left wondering what happens next..an exhausting read for little value in the end for me.

Have to get up and ready for BTG. So close to putting this book back in the bookcase now. It’s lost its lofty crisis moments and the author is moving towards a philosophical and/or sad ending…he is at the waterfall place where his dad died.

Wow! A lot packet now, and dam of if I don’t have to get up and have a shower and get ready for a 9 am session. Right at the point of fast forward falling down the cliff at the waterfall!

More enjoyment reading the last passage. Sadness is very much the vibe. They went to reclaim Emmy from whatever hell that was and DC returned to his blue angel to a bath of blood and pregnancy loss - perhaps.

He’s moved in with Dori after Vesper died and he’s drawing comics with Tommy who seems to be working at some newspaper doing ads. Angus was angry at his grandmother for no longer funding his education. I can sense I’m a mission to finish this now!

It’s always better to have a longer reading stint to feel more immersed in the story. DC almost got to the beach but Fast Forward had his way and they returned. DC is just being summonsed back to Coach’s house. The drug addiction is well and truly in control now sadly. Some good passages about the plight of being born into a tough beginning contrasted with those that have more life choices despite some things…

I suspect we are finally about to start the more engaging story! That last passage about partying and girls and mates and cool and dope was as boring as hell but chapter 41 opens with “Where does the road to ruin start?” Ughhh leaving it there this morning. I’m not waiting with bated breath though!

I think we have finally finished childhood now! Chapter 38 is next. I’m more interested in Angus than Demon at this stage. She has just driven them somewhere back to her childhood family home and Demon is reminiscing on his childhood. Ho hum…trying to stay with it!

Painstaking.
I don’t know if I’m not interested in this slow to develop story or I’m just preoccupied with other thoughts that really intrude while reading. Ho hum…first book I may not finish for book club because I can’t find anything to keep me in the story!!
