This is quite good, it’s characterized through the view of the title character who is a small child so he doesn’t quite fully comprehend the severity of the things going on around him. It’s fascinating and kind of heartbreaking. I wonder where it will go in the other 6 volumes.

There are scenes that amount to suggesting or showing domestic violence and pornography. This isn’t a book for children. One could argue this isn’t fully suitable for younger teens too.
